Sad to see the proud lady cryin' in the harbor,
Her torch burns low, a fading light in the dark.
The people whisper, their voices getting softer,
Like a river that's lost its way to the sea.

(Chorus)
Sad to see, oh, it's so sad to see,
How the promise has changed for you and for me.
The ground is shaking, the compass spun wrong,
How can we remember where we once belonged?

Sad to see the man who led now wants the crown,
And the books of the law are just words on the ground.
I remember the stories my father would tell,
Of a time when the truth could break any spell.

(Chorus)

(Bridge)
The streets are patrolled, the shadows grow long,
And the people just listen to a different song.
They say that the workers are gone with the wind,
In black vans that roll where the roads never end.

(Chorus)
