I am a woman I am a gift I stand on the edge of promise so you know where it is Give me your tired and poor Trying to be free Oh, huddled masses just asking for mercy Bring them all to me I am the woman you make of me in the Heartland
I am a vision Words on a page Born from the high hopes of my ancestor's rage I have grave mistakes still to be known I am the dreams of believers that we were like blood from a stone I am the vision you seed alone in the Heartland
Call on me Break me down And build me back up from these charnel grounds And fight for me to stay alive That's the only way we survive in the heartland
In the Heartland In the Heartland In the Heartland
