Bartholdi

Why was a lion of garnet stones born? A roar for an army and its glory? Of new fights, the sculptor wanted to warn, I wonder what was Bartholdi's story. A roar for an army and its glory Gravely heard when the last bullet was hurled. I wonder what was Bartholdi's story, He, who with freedom, enlightened the world. Gravely heard when the last bullet was hurled, The ultimate cry of a troubadour, He who with freedom enlightened the world And died being his utmost servitor. The ultimate cry of a troubadour Who steadily wanted to sing for peace And died being his utmost servitor Thinking of his terrific masterpiece. Who steadily wanted to sing for peace Always with a kind soul and a big heart. Thinking of his terrific masterpiece, Bartholdi had perfected his great art. Always with a kind soul and a big heart, Showing a way to be brave and gritty, Bartholdi had perfected his great art, sculpted the statue in New York City. Showing a way to be brave and gritty, A purpose animated, the graver Sculpted the statue in New York City To condemn and defy any slaver. A purpose animated the graver. High and proud Statue of Liberty To condemn and defy any slaver. They have no conscience or humanity. The high and proud Statue of Liberty! Rulers and tyrants are traitors because They have no conscience or humanity. And their cupidity is the main cause. Rulers and tyrants are traitors because Wars are, against humankind, true treason And their cupidity is the main cause. Only seeking peace should be the reason. Wars are, against humankind, true treason. Of new fights, the sculptor wanted to warn: Only seeking peace should be the reason Why a lion of garnet stones was born.
