Welcome, Welcome! One and all, to Me! That's right, I'm You're good "Old Friend" The Statue of Liberty! Give me your tired and your poor..
But don't come HERE NO MORE!! You're being stopped at the door..
The statue of Liberty! That's me! BOY! my feet are KILLING' ME!! I haven't sat down in YEARS And I've shed many tears, my dears, But don't YOU fear! As you can see, I'm STILL standing here Right where I'm supposed to be! Smack dab in the middle of this here, MESS! Trying REAL hard not to stress..
Hard to hold it together with So many people Walking up and down up under my dress! Putting me to the test I guess I'll grin and Do my best to hold high the torch Looking toward Manhattan Island Sometimes I just want to drop this torch in the water And start to crying/ Too many folks fighting' screaming' and dying' I AINT LYING! Gimme ONE plane ticket and I'll be a FLYING! What I need is a vacation From being a symbol for the nation So TIRED of riding this "freedom train" When do we arrive at the station? The location where we're FINALLY All ONE NATION under GOD? In a world full of atheists THAT'S gonna be kinda...
hard.
Belief in GOD should be a PLUS Aint it written on your money somewhere IN GOD WE TRUST????!!! LOOK! IT"S WRITTEN ON YOUR MONEY! LOOK! IT"S WRITTEN ON YOUR MONEY!!!! Ya know...
this aint even funny.
One more thing, Let me tell you, honey..
Instead of just snapping pictures of ME From the Deck of the Staten Island Ferry Why don't you do me a favor? Turn to your neighbor And treat HIM Merry?! I KNOW it's not Christmas day, or any other Holiday, But loving one another Is still OK!! Don't you forget to PRAY! On your knees is where you should stay Then you'll never stray.
And HEY!...
I aint going NOWHERE.
I'll be right here on ELLIS.
That is..
