To the place, she stands

Just when you think it might be over

Just when you think the fight is gone

Someone will risk his life to raise her

There she stands

Reminds us with red of those that died

Washed in white, by the brave

In this dream, she stands

When all your hopes come crashing down

Someone will pull her from the rubble

There she stands

We've seen her stand the test of time
A Bm G
And through it all the fools have fallen

There she stands

By the dawns early light
D/B A D
And through the fight, she stands
