Statue of Liberty

Ooh statue of liberty
Far as the eye can see
Watching the land with a green hand raised to eternity

Some gifts you can’t give back
Some gifts feel like an attack
That’s how it goes when you cut yourself on the thorn of a given rose

Ooh statue of liberty
Look at your hair it’s a nest for the birds it’s the death of the bees
Ooh statue of liberty
Please hold me

We (she) could just sit and mourn
Or we (she) could rise to the storm
And let our (her) skin grow green from the cumulative effect of the things we (she) can’t unsee

Ooh statue of liberty
Alleviating the need
For someone to keep watch in front of the fleet as it sails out boldly to sea

She’s out there watching…

Ooh statue of liberty
Look at your hair it’s a nest for the birds it’s the death of the bees
Ooh statue of liberty
Please hold me
