Our lady of copper so mighty and tall
Might just be left with no rights at all
Standing proudly alone in the land that I love
She dawns only green and watches from above
Presiding over our battles we fought gun to gun
She’s watched all the struggles demanding wrongs be undone
But now the broken shackle lies restless at her feet
Powered by the voices of our nation willing lock and key to meet
A woman so powerful who seems to conquer all
Even she does not need a strong force to make her fall
In hallways where laws are intended to bind
A creeping doubt begins to whisper that a change will be unkind
A woman of no words, her voice not yet spoken
But to her our pledge of allegiance we have broken
The women of our country sit solemnly in fear
But her enduring reflection does not shed a tear
She knows that she is more than what their eye can see
For within her strength I see you and I see me
Her stance is unchanged through the mornings and nights
Yet still Lady Liberty fears she has lost her rights
