If Only She Could Talk
I will no longer lift my lamp
Beside this tarnished door.
My arm is tired. So few believe
In what I stand for anymore.
Once I was a beacon
Of hope and liberty.
I stood there proudly watching
Masses yearning to breathe free.
This country was still the best
Of all that could ever be,
But from my vantage point
Betrayal is what I see.
We've turned our back on principles
That made this country strong;
Committed acts both here and there
Turned all that's right to wrong.
So go about your lives,
The powers that be have spoken,
And I, Lady of Liberty, am sorry
For the promises we've broken.
