David Crosby - Lady of the Harbor lyrics



by David Crosby and Craig Doerge

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

The 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 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.
