Lady Liberty is restless

Stalking about

Looking for a warrior

To stand up and shout
She calls out to her people

Come hear my voice

While there is still time

To stand and make our choice
Lady Liberty is crying

For those who have lost

Their reason for living

And persuit of happiness
Their rights have been trampled

By leaders promising the best

Tears falling in the darkness

Show her shame for our regress
I went to Lady Liberty

And asked her what was wrong

She said she was heart broken

For the liberties that were gone
The freedoms that were promised

To last us a lifetime

Have been take away

In the blink of an eye
She quotes from the constitution

The freedoms we were promised

And shows how little by little

Our innocence we've lost
Amendments keep on changing

And repainting a scene

That was once bright and beautiful

To something dull and obscene
Marionettes and puppets

Controlled by the puppeteer

That's what we've become

A group without a seer
Strung along and dragged about

No peace for our minds

Standing in the wastelands

Unable to see the signs
Lady Liberty holds me tight

And tells me to find what's right

To find the path that leads to hope

And promises fulfilled
Restore the firm foundations

Of a right and proper time

Help them find their heart

And give them peace of mind
She seats me on the steps

That leads to her dress

And regains the platform

And her original address
She stands their proudly

Proclaiming for all who hear

Come to my land

And I will give you rest
People lend an ear

For the time it has come

For us to stand together

And our enemies to overcome
GOD grant that we be humble

When seeking what is right

Pray for our leaders

And turn darkness into light
