Not like the brazen giant of greek fame

with conquering limbs astride from land to land

here at our sea-washed sunset gates shall stand

a mighty woman with a torch



Bridge: Whose flame is the imprisoned lightning

and her name Mother of Exiles



Refrain: You can live if you want to be free

in the land of the thousand dreams

You can breath really free, if you only mind to see

that the only one who can free you is the Lord



From her beacon hand glows world-wide welcome

her mild eyes command the air-bridged harbour ( that twin cities frame )
