One Stormy Night Lyrics - Singles - Johnny Philko

Copyright Kinkead 2000 

O Lady Liberty 

you cast your light to a stormy sea 

you offer visions of a golden 

rainbow for all to see 

you offer hopes of freedom and prosperity 

to the world but they are blinded and can not see 

that this vision that you offer comes at a cost and is not free 

You offer entry to a land of poverty 

Freedom and justice are only for those who can afford to pay 

You don't mention that this is the American way. 

Our flag used to have integrity 

but is now only a tattered remnant of what it used to be. 

Our ill sleep in the streets with clothes that are tattered and torn 

You turn your head in Self-righteous contempt and scorn 

Turn off your light and let darkness rule the day 

There is no Land of Liberty left here today
