Chique Geek - Harbor Lady

Suddenly awakened on that clear September morn
Her sleep had been so peaceful as such hatred had been born
She stood in disbelief as the flames reached to the sky
The nightmare turned to rubble as she helplessly stood by

She cries for you, she cries for me, she cries for all the world to see
She lifts her lamp beside the gilded door only to find so much to restore
We've strayed so far throughout the land from where our fathers they first began
The Harbor Lady's tears are real her heart is gold it's not made of steel

Her grief was overwhelming as she witnessed all the pain
Her pride welled up within her as her heroes strove in vain
She couldn't help but question why such horrors came to be
How contemptible the causes that drive men to lunacy

She cries for you, she cries for me, she cries for all the world to see
She lifts her lamp beside the gilded door only to only find so much to restore
We've strayed so far throughout the land from where our fathers they first began
The Harbor Lady's tears are real her heart is gold it's not made of steel

Aaah, this here lady in the harbor, she's a standin' here so proud and so free
She's a bearin' up this torch of freedom standin' for the right to liberty
Beckonin' to any and to all who would come, beckonin' for the whole world to see
Send me your tired and poor she insists, your huddled masses yearnin' to breathe free
Wretched refuse, teemin' shores, send these homeless tempest tossed to me
This lamp's a lightin' the gilded gold door countless folks 've heard my plea

All people rightful equals is her message to mankind
But it must be told with honor and with dignity refined
Often too high a price for this hard song to sing
Don't cry Harbor Lady, we'll help freedom to take wing

She cries for you, she cries for me, she cries for all the world to see
She lifts her lamp beside the gilded door only to find so much to restore
We've strayed so far throughout the land from where our fathers they first began
The Harbor Lady's tears are real her heart is gold it's not made of steel

This here lady in the harbor, she's a standin' here so proud and so free
She's a bearin' up that torch of freedom standin' for the right to liberty
