Lady Liberty
Still Young At Heart |
 |
|
You're a grand and stately "Lady" -
Your head held up so proud and high -
A book of our laws in one hand -
The other lighting freedoms' sky.
You have greeted many millions
To the gates of freedoms' land -
You offered them a way of life
Not found in their Fatherland.
You have welcomed home our troops
From those far-off foreign wars -
Where we fought and died for liberty -
To keep oppression from our shores.
You've observed a lot of changes
And through all, stayed young at heart -
Still honoring those promises
Which were made right at the start.
Now you are a century old
But you do not show your age -
Though in the books of history
You have turned many a page.
So have a Happy Birthday, Lady
And may your light forever shine -
We thank you for your tireless vigil
At the worlds' freedom lifeline. |
