Restoration of the New World

My heart is just like liberty island.
I have ventured far from the beaten trail.
The flames of my torch are exhausted by
The forceful winds right off of the Hudson. 

No longer do I stand tall and mighty.
I am not a welcome sign or promise
Of prosperity, but rather a sad,
spurious model of worn down copper
Which has lost all of its significance.

Oh, maybe I can learn to stand up straight
And maybe I can hug those that I love
With a firmer grasp, tell them they're okay

I will rekindle what has been long lost
And maybe I can be who I once was.
