The New Colossus
Ali Aslam
I screamed in a dream and I woke
To find my voice gone
I cried out and choked for the air
Escaping my lungs
Till the greying that signals the light
Or the panic it starts to subside
The bitter taste and the unsteady pace
Will just be your comfort tonight
You can't tell that anything's changed
But the air tastes wrong
There's a chill on the breeze that begins
To cut through your guard
And you feel yourself starting to bend
And complacency smiles like a friend
But hope draws a breath
In the dark to test your resolve
But what can you do
When the word that you're given
Was all that you had
And broke to begin with
I'll fight for you love
I'll fight for you love
I'll fight for you love
Because you stood for mine
And had more on the line
And I'll be damned
There's a girl standing tall on a hill
With a fist in the air
She wont give up any more ground
The line's drawn there
Did you forget what freedom was for
Is there light still on this golden door
Steel yourselves friends because this doesn't end
With my hand still waiting for yours
But what can you do
When the word that your given
Was all that you had
And broke to begin with
I'll fight for you love
I'll fight for you love
I'll fight for you love
Because you stood for mine
And had more on the line
And I'll be damned
