Lyrics
Statue Of Liberty
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Moon rises and sets
In the real world
Islands and hurricanes
Wind blows in fort jersey
It floats across the pave
Into the open ocean
It's a good day
To run away
Freedom is a scary thing
Not many people really want it
Me I keep my distance
I'm always near
That's just my way
Cool water
That's just another speckle on horizon
Just another speckle in the sea
Cool water
Cool wind
Statue of liberty
Stands in the harbor
Holding her torch
Hello goodbye
To all the men and women
Who pass through her port
Into the open ocean
Just another speckle on horizon
Just another speckle in the sea
Cool water
Cool wind
Freedom is a scary thing
Not many people really want it
