The Lady With a Torch

I stand in this Harbor Anchored deep below Arm raised, torch held High, for Liberty we love I Refuse to let go Mighty storms I have withstood Witness to darkness I have seen Still , I remain here , if anyone Cares to look out to sea Freedom doesnt come without a stand up, knock down fight, Knees never bend buckle , Liberty I watch over , both in day And thru dark of night Corruption has surfaced, floated Across distant waters, been thrown On our shore; stinking fish on the sand, begging for removal Before it spreads across our land There will be no compromise, While on my freedom watch, I've stood here , never giving ground 24/7 on the clock I am Liberty's Lady Rock!
