Don't Beat the Lady Down

You’re not on solid ground to beat the Lady down.
She welcomed all to her shores,
and the world’s still breaking down her door.
A refuge of hope for all to come in.
To beat on her is just a sin.
 
With open arms she’s paid the price,
of blood, guts and great sacrifice.
Her men and women have laid down their lives,
to uphold and protect the freedom they enjoyed.
They decided they would not live in a void,
but would fight for those who have no rights, no freedoms, no hope.
To lay them over a mother’s love that’s divine and from above.

Make no mistake our Lady’s not frail or sick.
She proves more than often she can take a lick.
But when all options fail and when things demand
never fear, she will provide a powerful hand.
She will punish those who spend their day
putting her children in harm’s way.

Rant what you will and rave if you must;
question the vision and doubt, don’t trust.
The Lady allows you the freedom to disagree,
to challenge the reason, the right to speak free.
That’s what makes her the best Lady of all.
She’ll persevere in spite of any fall.
She’ll get up again with even greater might
continue on and never cease to fight.
 
No, you’re not on solid ground
To always beat the Lady down.
She welcomed all to her shores,
and the world’s still breaking down her door.
A refuge of hope for all to come in.
To beat on her is just a sin.
