ATOP A STAR IN NEW YORK HARBOR
STANDS A LADY CLOTHED IN COPPER
WITH A GOLDEN TORCH THRUST AGAINST THE SKY

SHE BECKONS DAY AND NIGHT
AS SHE CRADLES FREEDOM'S BIRTHRITE
WITH STERN DETERMINATION IN HER EYES
SHE WEARS A CROWN ABLAZE WITH SPIKES OF FLAME
TO LIGHT THE WORLD, AND PROCLAIM

LIBERTY!

SHE IS MERCY ON A MISSION
TO RID TYRANNY AND OPPRESSION
AND WIPE OUT EVERY VESTIGE THAT REMAINS
SHE BREAKS THE BONDS AND SHACKLES
AS SHE SPILLS HER BLOOD IN BATTLES
IT'S HER BLOOD THAT SPILLS
COURSING THROUGH HER VEINS
CHAINS ARE SHATTERED WHERE HER SANDALS TREAD
IN THE DARKEST NIGHT WHERE HOPE IS DEAD

LIBERTY!

(CHORUS)
BLOWIN' LIKE THE WIND ACROSS THE LAND
WITHIN REACH AND GRASP OF EVERY HAND
SWEET LIBERTY

SHE REIGNS SUPREME AND REGAL
ENTHRONED UPON A PEDESTAL
AMERICA'S BEEN HER HEART SINCE SHE WAS BORN
SHE PROTECTS HER LIKE A MOTHER
WITH THE PASSION OF A LOVER
THERE'S NO FURY LIKE THE LADY'S SCORN
SHE CONSUMES WITH THE FIRE OF HER WRATH
EVERY THREAT TO ASHES IN HER PATH

LIBERTY!

(REPEAT CHORUS)

LIBERTY - SHINES HER LIGHT
LIBERTY - THE WHOLE WORLD CRIES FOR
LIBERTY - THANK GOD FOR LIBERTY
