Lyrics

In the early '50s, and '60s, and '70s 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've been there with a good intention Yes, we've been there with a working intention Yes, we've been there with a educational intention Yes, we've 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 Ain't no intention to hostage holding Statue of Liberty, light up your torch So, we can see If it is a international problem We want to see It is a political problem We want to see If it is a island problem We want to see If it is a continental 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're begging or demanding anything It's not like we're 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 '40s and '50s, no one was fair In the '60s, people start to share In the '70s, and we were there In the '90s, 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
