about

Veracruz 6/8 groove anthem slowed down and weighted with rock drums and melodic guitar, a renewal of Lady Liberty's promise to all fleeing oppression and seeking a better life. Give me your tired, your poor. More than ever.

lyrics

LADY LIBERTY, DAY ONE
Gerry Spehar
As we mark this trip around the Sun
As day two is conceived on this day one
As we swear and inaugurate
As we mark this move to hope from hate
In our hearts a Golden Gate
A dream that makes us great
As needs become seeds
As weeds become deeds
She holds her torch, her golden flame
She sings and shivers in our pain
Give me your tired, your poor
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore
Your huddled masses yearning to be free
Send these homeless, tempest tossed to me
I lift my lamp beside the golden door
Give me your tired, your poor
On this day doom, his final day
Are we to gloom, to look away
Or call to right, to stand and fight
To march with him in sight, day and night
To speak her name
To keep her flame
To hold her core from shore to shore
As we make this trip around the Sun
With Lady Liberty, day one
She holds her torch, her golden flame
She sings and shivers in our pain
Give me your tired, your poor
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore
Your huddled masses yearning to be free
Send these homeless, tempest tossed to me
I lift my lamp beside the golden door
Give me your tired, your poor
Freedom. It’s just a shout away
