Lady of the Harbor Lyrics

David Crosby

Our lady of the harbor Lady of the light An immigrant like all Who came before
She says, "Give me your homeless Your landless, and your poor Come see, what we believe Behind this open door"
That all are created equal And given half a chance They can work out all their differences Their distance in the dance
How many eyes Through how many tears Saw the Promised Land When they saw you for how many years?
This country's got so big We hardly know one another It's hard to think someone you don't know Could really be your brother
But wasn't that the idea When we started out In school that's what they said The constitution was about
And many good men died Maybe more next week So, we could have the freedom To believe and think and speak
And anyway sweet lady I just wanted you to know There's a lot of us out here Who like to see your torch's glow
Wasn't that the idea When we started out? In school that's what they said The constitution was about Lady of the harbor
