Who She Is
- Who She is. -
She is the statue of liberty
The lady of the harbour
A beacon and a pillar of light
She is burnt at the stake
She is woken by a kiss
Calling from afar
She says " I will fight naked on a horse if you would follow me"
She takes the kids to school with kids in hand her face is full
Even blindfolded she always knows the truth
Her laugh is like a split pomegranite
Often she admonishes me
I just go along stupidly
She taught us how to weave
She taught us how to believe
She shades us like the cedars of Lebanon
Her virtues just goes on and on
We are her children and her name is Freedom
Her heart is like a river, mysterious and deep
The last thought to leave my mind before I go to sleep
She is the matriarch
That takes us to the water
Where we can fill our trunks and we can splash our thanks
We blindly follow her and when we look again she is the vanguard in the rear
