"AMERICAN DREAM"

Lyrics by
TIMOTHY DEAN WATSON, DDS (c)2002


How grand a statue,
Silent lighthouse of liberty,
With a torch in her hand,
Beaming hope to each land,
Whether near or across the sea.

How grand a statue,
Born a gift from another shore.
Copper robe, copper hair,
Leading souls to repair,
Always longing for even more,

And yet ...

So strong a lady,
Who stood firm in the light of day,
With a pain in her side,
And a blow to her pride,
Knowing still what she had to say.

That all men should be free,
Peace forevermore,
Harmony, serenity,
And love at every door.

So onward she'll guide us,
Through storms that would hide us,
And help the world understand,
The way we dream.

How grand a statue,
Standing for our dream.
Ever standing for our dream.
