Liberty

by Bryan Ezra Gonzales

My arms stretch out and open up to the poor

The weary, the oppressed and those who yearn to be free

To them, I open the door

Of the Promised Land where they will find me

 

I raise my head and look up to the sky

She glorifies equality and righteousness

I push my feet to the ground, where I hear blood cry

The blood of the people, where in the battlefields, found happiness

 

To those who flee their lands where wickedness is exalted

Where oppression is glorified and evil reigns

I will be their shelter and they will be provided

I will relieve them from all their pains

 

My name is Liberty

I dwell in the songs of people wrongly tried

And the people who, in the hands of tyrants, have suffered greatly

I will reach to them and be their guide
