Lyrics
LADY LIBERTY
words by Noreen Inglesi and Bina Gehres
music by Inglesi/ Arr. by Audrey Kaiser
(dedicated to our brave fire fighters and police officers in Providence and nationwide)
VERSE 1
Lady liberty standing tall
With her flame and dignity
Lights the way for all.
Still as the embers burn
Smoke clouds the sky.
There in twisted ruins
Freedom's flag will fly.
REFRAIN
Oh, rise above this cruel and bitter storm
And soon we'll see a brand new coral dawn.
Oh, lift our hearts together in our plight.
And soon we'll be safe within her light.
VERSE 2
Lady liberty brims with pride
With her ageless beauty
Heals the Great Divide.
So many heroes lost in the fight.
Still their visions
Fill us all with might.
REFRAIN
Oh, rise above this cruel and bitter storm
And soon we'll see a brand new coral dawn.
Oh, lift our hearts together in our plight.
And soon we'll be safe within her light.
VERSE 3
Lady liberty proud and strong.
There in your wonder
All our hearts belong.
You keep us growing
Through all the pain.
There is the ashes
All our dreams will reign.
REFRAIN
Oh, rise above this cruel and bitter storm
And soon we'll see a brand new coral dawn.
Oh, lift our hearts together in our plight.
And soon we'll be safe within her light.
