The Statue of Liberty - Miss Liberty, Mother of Exiles: '..A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame Is the imprisoned lightning..'

<blockquote>'To deprive a man of his natural liberty and to deny to him the ordinary amenities of life is worse then starving the body; it is starvation of the soul, the dweller in the body.'

- Mohandas Gandhi (Context)</blockquote>


"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-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

- Miss Liberty, 'Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome..'

<blockquote>Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
"Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she
With silent lips. "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-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

- Emma Lazarus, The New Colossus, 1883</blockquote>

*** Exiles, You're Not Alone

<blockquote>'Take my thoughts with you,
And when you look behind,
You will surely see a
Face that you recognize.'

<blockquote>In a way it's all
A matter of time.
I will not worry for you.
You'll be just fine.

Take my thoughts with you,
And when you look behind,
You will surely see a
Face that you recognize.

You're Not Alone.
I'll wait 'til the end of time.
Open your mind.
Surely it's plain to see
You're Not Alone.
I'll wait 'til the end of time for you.
Open your mind.
Surely there's time to be with me...

It is the distance
That makes life a little hard.
Two minds that once were close --
Now, so many miles apart.

I will not falter though.
I'll hold on to your home.
Safe way back where you belong,
And see how our love will grow-ow-ow-ow!

You're Not Alone.
I'll wait 'til the end of time.
Open your mind.
Surely it's plain to see
You're Not Alone.
I'll wait 'til the end of time for you.
Open your mind.
Surely there's time to be with me...

You're Not Alone.
I'll wait 'til the end of time.
Open your mind.
Surely it's plain to see
You're Not Alone.
I'll wait 'til the end of time for you.
Open your mind.
Surely there's time to be with me...

You're Not Alone.
(You're Not Alone!)
I'll wait 'til the end of time.
Open your mind.
(O-open your mi-ind!)
baby theres time to be with me
You're Not Alone.
(You're Not Alo-o-one!)
I'll wait 'til the end of time for you.
(never alone)
Open your mind.
(Open your mind!)
Surely there's time to be with me...
(till the end of time)

You're Not Alone.
(You're Not Alone!)
I'll wait 'til the end of time.
Open your mind.
(O-open your mi-ind!)
baby theres time for me and you, (you, you...)
