David Crosby Lady Of The Harbor Lyrics

Lady Of The Harbor Lyrics

by David Crosby and Craig Doerge







Our lady of the harbor



Lady of the light



An immigrant like all who came before



She says give me your homeless



Your landless and your poor



Come see what we believe



Behind this open door



That all are created equal



And given half a chance



They can work out all their differences



Their distance in the dance.







How many eyes, through how many tears



Saw the promised land when they saw you



For how many years



The country's got so big



We hardly know one another



It's hard to think someone you don't know



could really be your brother.







But wasn't that the idea



When we started out



In school that what they said



The constitution was about







And many good men died



maybe more next week



So we could have the freedom



To believe and think and speak.







And anyway sweet lady



I just wanted you to know



There's a lot of us out here



Who like to see your torch's glow.
