BITTER JOKE

{Craig Smith}

She is not a politician 
She’s not a symbol of power
She is not a fallen warrior
She is just an idea

As a gift she was given
And paid for by the common man
To a country just beginning
A new world was the plan

Chorus;

Liberty I hope ……. Is not just a bitter joke?
Liberty I hope
Liberty I hope … … is not just a bitter joke

We’ll take your huddled masses
Give me your tired and your poor
Just follow the flame
You’ll find the golden door

You started off so well
But with your power you’ve strayed
Now it seems you take things for granted
It seems you’ve lost your way

Chorus;

Have you forgotten where you came from?
What you set out to do?
Yeah the dream is so beautiful
And only the strong will see it through

Cause she’s not a politician
She’s not a symbol of power
She is not a fallen warrior
She is just an idea

Chorus
