She Carried The Torch Lyrics

She carried the torch

For justice and truth

Her emotions will scorch

The folly of youth

She carried the torch

For richer or poorer

In sunlight or darkness

Forevermore lore

She carried the torch

On hot days of summer

On cold eves of winter

A marathon runner

She carried the torch

From New York's harbor

Bucks County's porch

To longwoods arbor

She carried the torch

Of meek and of mild

Cladding the courche

Taking the wild

The torch is burning

Bright with luminescence

Welcomes all adults

Back to adolescence

When we were young

We said how we felt

No matter how egregious

Snow eventually melts

She carried the torch

She carried the torch

She carried the torch

She carried the torch

Through thick and through thin

Whether we lose

Tomorrow we will win

A beacon of light

A Hope in the dawn

She healed all our blight

And right all our wrongs

She carried the torch

She carried the torch

For justice and truth

Her emotions will scorch

The folly of youth

She carried the torch

For richer or for poor

In sunlight or darkness

Forevermore lore
