My grandfather got on a boat
When he was only five years old
His father told him of his dream
Of freedom, hope and cities paved with gold
They left the life they knew behind
Soon they saw the shoreline
Of America rising from the sea
In the new world, their new home
Had a view of the Statue of Liberty
Keep your light held high
Keep the dream alive
Watch over me
Lady Liberty
My mother grew up on a farm
In northern Idaho
Her father told her of his dream
That a working man could make the wheat fields grow
When the chores were done at night
She studied by the candlelight
To learn about her country's history
From around the world, her people came
Drawn by the light of justice and liberty
Keep your light held high
Keep the dream alive
Watch over me
