about

Martin wrote “Lady Liberty” after attending the Woman’s March in 2017. The song has a strong political statement about the power of diversity and the strength of the nation through inclusivity.

lyrics

See her torch in the distance,
A guiding light through the storm.
She is love and acceptance,
A prayer to peace in sculpted form.
Shine her light through the darkness,
A helping hand to hold.

There is beauty in different and a power in love.
Like a branch to a tree, we’re all connected at the root.
Lift our voices together, sing of love and joy our true pursuit.

Building walls and breakin’ bridges,
Drain mother earth of all her riches,
Pass it off as rights of privilege.
Claim poverty’s a state of mind.

We the people are never so blind!
We can no longer stand aside,
For the meek shall inherit the earth,
For we carry the torch of lady liberty.
