<BR>>
<BR>> I wonder what she thought
<BR>> As she stood there, strong and tall.
<BR>> She couldn't turn away,
<BR>> She was forced to watch it all.
<BR>>
<BR>> Did she long to offer comfort
<BR>> As her country bled?
<BR>> With her arm forever frozen
<BR>> High above her head.
<BR>>
<BR>> She could not shield her eyes
<BR>> She could not hide her face
<BR>> She just stared across the water
<BR>> Keeping Freedom's place.
<BR>>
<BR>> The smell of smoke and terror
<BR>> Somehow reduced her size
<BR>> So small within the harbor
<BR>> But still we recognized...
<BR>>
<BR>> How dignified and beautiful
<BR>> On a day so many died
<BR>> I wonder what she thought,
<BR>> And I know she must have cried.
<BR>>
