She stands in the harbor and cries

All the words are memories

Of older times

 

As a country, we tremble and falter now

Let down so many

Forgotten our vow

 

Where are the proud that made us so great

Where are the leaders now

We have only faith

 

She cries in the harbor with fading light

For our homeless and poor

And their endless fight

 

We must stand and shout as we did

Against the destruction

Our country must rise amid

 

Speak loud – speak  very clear

America can rise

Without shackles of fear

 

Let her stand proud and  so glorious

Let the torch shine bright again

To be flawless
