Lady Liberty

(专辑： Grown Up Children - 1986)

My grandfather got on a boat
When he was only five years old
His father told him of his dream
Of freedom, hope and cities paved with gold
They left the life they knew behind
Soon they saw the shoreline
Of America rising from the sea
In the new world, their new home
Had a view of the Statue of Liberty

Keep your light held high
Keep the dream alive
Watch over me
Lady Liberty

My mother grew up on a farm
In northern Idaho
Her father told her of his dream
That a working man could make the wheat fields grow
When the chores were done at night
She studied by the candlelight
To learn about her country's history
From around the world, her people came
Drawn by the light of justice and liberty

Keep your light held high
Keep the dream alive
Watch over me
Lady Liberty

I live in California now
With a family of my own
I tell my children of my dream
To reach out and discover worlds unknown
Someday we're going to take a trip
Descendants of the immigrants
Fly through the sky from sea to shining sea
To stand where so many dreamed their dreams
Beside the Statue of Liberty

Keep your light held high
Keep the dream alive
Watch over me
Lady Liberty

Keep your light held high
Won't you keep the dream alive?
I need you to watch over me
Lady Liberty

Oh, keep your light held high
Keep the dream alive
Watch over me, over me
Lady Liberty

Keep your light held high, keep your light held high
Keep the dream alive, won't you keep the dream alive?
Watch over me, watch over me, watch over me
Lady Liberty

Keep your light held high, keep your light held high
Keep the dream alive, keep the dream alive
Watch over me
Lady Liberty
