I was working in the lab, late one night, when my eyes... This song just came out of nowhere!
|
As the light fades I feel
a deepening unease
awareness as another day
has brought me to my knees
No resentment
No regrets
The only fool
One who forgets
"Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me"
Lest we forget in fear or fury
while watching children dying on the floor
Instead of a cage with silver sheets
"I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"
Let's not just look away, (look away, look away)
we all can hear their desperation
We can fight another day
Live to build a stronger nation
Indivisible, indivisible
Live to fight another day
Indivisible, indivisibile
No one here should look away
Indivisble, indivisible, indivisible
Give me your tired, your poor
Your huddled masses, yearning to breathe free!
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore
Send these, the homeless, tempest tossed to me
