Burning Spear - Statue Of Liberty
American stretched forth her hands
And welcome us all
Yes, we built and now they refuse us
Yes, we can clean it and now they refuse us
Yes, they mark us, they su, su, su
Yes, we been there with good intention
Yes, we been there with a working intention
Yes, we been there with a educational intention
Yes, we been there
So many different nationalities been there too
Never been treated like we do
Never been handled like we do
Never been talked about like we do
We have a no intention to bomb threat
No intention to hijacking
No intention to hostage holding
Statue of Liberty, light up your torch
So we can see
It is a international problem - we want to see
It is a political problem - we want to see
It is a island problem - we want to see
It is a continent problem - we want to see
Statue of Liberty, light up your torch
So we can see
If I am right, then I should be right
If I am wrong, no argument
Remember people the statue stand for
Equal rights and justice
Statue of Liberty, light up your torch
So we can see
We were picking apples many years ago
Picking grapes many years ago
Hospital workers many years ago
Housekeepers many years ago
Statue of Liberty, light up your torch
So we can see
It's not like we begging or demanding anything
It's not like we begging or demanding anything
It's just an example
It's just an example
Statue of Liberty, light up your torch
So we can see
Statue of Liberty, light up your torch
So we can see
In the forties and the fifties no one was fair
In the sixties people start to share
In the seventies we were there
In the nineties immigration get scared
Statue of Liberty, light up your torch
So we can see
Statue of Liberty, light up your torch
So we can see
Statue of Liberty, light up your torch
So we can see
Statue of Liberty, light up your torch
So we can see
Statue of Liberty..
