The Lady of Liberty Isle
Aloft with an air of pride she stands
For all the world to see.
In silent majesty to all lands
Speaks to the brave and free
Of justice, hope, and liberty,
Peace to our fellow man.
With voiceless words o'er all the sea
She speaks of freedom's land.
For past one hundred years, unique
Upon her pedestal, the queen
Of copper, steel and concrete,
No other reigns supreme,
So that the blind, oppressed may see
Her torch, enlightening the world with liberty.
