lyrics

Save The Lady
D A11 G2,maj7 Here I stand with my back turned toward America,
D A11 G2,maj7
but it's her promise I hold up to the sea.
D A11 G2,maj7
Sons of immigrants raise their fists at aliens, funny.
D A11 G2,maj7
They still look tired and poor to me. Oh, to me.
C D
People worry that I'll fall into decay,
C D
That the cold salt air will crumble me away.
C D
But when they feel me crying, "Save the Lady"
E A
I'm thinking of my sister, the U.S.A.

I know it's hard to settle for your lot in life. Lord, you know I've had my times. I cried when I learned I'd never walk the land of the free, 'till I saw a poor statue made of unlit stone. Unlit stone.

refrain

I can hear the whispers of America. Sometimes they make me feel like I stand alone. Is there no one here who's grateful for their freedom enough to welcome strangers to their home? To their home.

refrain

Here I stand with my back turned toward America. And I promise I'll never turn away. You must all share the dream that you've now harvested, to keep the winds of prejudice at bay. Oh, at bay.

Oh, save the Lady. Oh, save the Lady. Oh, save the Lady.
