She still stands today,
her torch straight up in the sky.
She stands for liberty, justice
and everything by and by.
Crown upon her head,
she looks bravely over the bay.
Nothing tries to rattle her
and nothing gets in her way.
She stands for millions;
they go to greet her,
snapping pictures here and there.
Her gown covers her body;
her hand holds her flare.
She looks out across the water,
her complexion a light green.
She stands so proud and tall,
reaching for the stars.
She stands for freedom’s call,
immense in this world,
the greatest symbol from the past.
She still stands for freedom
and what has made it last.
She still stands for our rights
and how some gave their all.
They gave the ultimate sacrifice
for what she stands for,
so she would not fall.
We take her for granted,
boasting of our rights,
that she stands for freedom
on the most perilous of nights.
We love what she stands for
and the country in which we live.
We stand on the shoreline singing
the Star Spangled Banner,
with hearts that desire to give,
praising our land of liberty,
appreciating the land
in which we live.
Many have come to join us
from lands that are afar.
This shows how
and what she stands for
are viewed by cultures
around the earth.
She is and always will be
the epitome of liberty
and freedom’s worth.
