Ladt In the Harbor

To see the Lady in the harbor
From the deck of ship at moor

The sea and the winds that blow
Tell of freedom where liberties glow

Protection enshrined in its constitution
Articles of Confederation 

The lamp lite for the world to see
Brought millions to cross the sea

The crucible an emulation of humanity
Every race and culture creativity

Is the hope still alive in the U S A
Only those with wealth can stay 

Give us your tired and poor
Time to try on another shore
