Lyrics
THE LADY... FROM VISIONS
WE TRAVELED FAR, FOREVER ON THE OCEAN
A MILLION STARS WE WISHED UPON AT SEA
OUR FAMILY SOULS DRIFTED EVER CLOSER
REACHIN OUT FOR THE HAND OF LIBERTY
CAN YOU SEE
THE LIGHTS UPON THE HARBOR
CAN YOU SEE
THE LADY STANDING TALL
THERE'S HER FLAME
RISING TO THE HEAVENS
SHE HOLDS A LIFE WAITING FOR US ALL
SHIP BELL RINGS
TIME TO LEAVE TOGETHER
ALL ASHORE WE'RE FINALLY ON OUR OWN
TAKE MY HAND WE GOT A WORLD TO DISCOVER
THIS IS OUR LAND THIS IS OUR HOME
CHORUS......CAN YOU SEE
BRIDGE....
MOUNTAINS AND RIVERS AND LAKES AND THE STREAMS
TOWNS AND CITIES
ALL THE PLACES WE DREAMED
PEOPLE AND FRIENDS AND THINGS YET TO BE
A HOME I LOVE AND MY FAMILY
CHORUS AND FADE ................
