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
