Huddled Masses

Lyrics

[Verse 1] There once was a little boy Who dreamed of preaching a gospel truth He lived in a country with an evil king Who was killing all the youth His family fled the country In search of freedom's flame He was raised a refugee Jesus was his name [Chorus] Give me your tired (Tired), your poor Your huddled masses on your teeming shore Yearning to breathe free Send them all to me Give me your tired (Tired), your poor Your huddled masses on your teeming shore I lift my lamp beside the golden door Remember what I stand here for [Verse 2] There once was a little girl Who dreamed of being a writer She lived in a country with an evil king Who burned people who prayed like her Her family tried to flee it To keep their kid alive Anne was raised a refugee Just her diary survived [Chorus] Give me your tired (Tired), your poor Your huddled masses on your teeming shore Yearning to breathe free Send them all to me Give me your tired (Tired), your poor Your huddled masses on your teeming shore I lift my lamp beside the golden door Remember what I stand here for [Verse 3] There once was a young man Who dreamed of earning his degree He lived in a country with an evil king Who bombed his family He flew to reach our border To start his life anew He's detained today at JFK We did not let him through [Climb] Oh, let him come through [Chorus] Give me your tired, your poor Your huddled masses on your teeming shore Yearning to breathe free Send them all to me Welcome all Muslims, Christians, Jews and more Every child fleeing hate and war I lift my lamp beside the golden door [Outro] And I'll forever lift my lamp beside the golden door Remember what I stand here for
