And as she weaves her way, through city streets
The dawn arrives
In concrete glades of metal grass
Steel cords are woven tight
But she is free, F, R, double E
She was tall, She was high
Lord she almost touched the sky
Today, I said today
She was tall, she was high
Lord she almost made me cry
Today, she spends her time
Beside grey lakes of lead she's harnessed to
A kneeling form
Before the storm subsides, she's flown
And leaves the body torn
But she is free, F, R, double E
She was tall, she was high
