[bodytext] => High independent Lady Liberty, Begs to be handled with respect and care And asks to have profoundest empathy With those that cannot in her bounty share. She is a gift, a generous gratuity, With freedom’s privileges intertwined But spurns conceited self-sufficiency, Her devotees should keep this fact in mind. Her speech is straight, no ambiguity, Hold up this lady high and serve her well! She is a beacon that must oversee Where in dark corners serfs and bondsmen dwell. Dame Liberty - sweet independency Lends giving service her distinct support, To lead the way to shared autonomy Achieved in realms of high heaven’s court. Responsibility is freedom's prize, High prize - for boundless is man dignity, And freedom's sister, choice and sacrifice Will safeguard and protect the truly free. True freedom dwells upon a starry plain, Marked and emblazoned by the Master’s hand, Where vision and participation reign, And joys secure on which we can depend.
