Oh, honey, let me tell you somethin’ about that Statue of Liberty and that Chappell Roan gal. That statue, she’s a big deal, you know? Stands tall and proud, like she’s sayin’, “Welcome, welcome!” to folks comin’ to this land. Big lady, green as grass in the spring, holdin’ up a torch like she’s lightin’ the way. Reminds me of my grandma, always holdin’ a candle in the window on a dark night.
Now, this Chappell Roan, she’s a singer, I hear. A real firecracker, they say. Sings her heart out, this one. I ain’t heard her tunes myself, mind you. My old radio mostly gets the preacher on Sundays. But folks talk, and they say she’s got somethin’ to say. And she ain’t afraid to say it, either. Good for her, I say! A girl’s gotta speak her mind.
They say she sang at some big fancy place, the White House. That’s where the big cheese lives, you know. And she told ’em right there, Chappell Roan did, that we all want liberty. That’s like bein’ free to do what you want, be who you want, without nobody tellin’ you no. Just like that Statue of Liberty, standin’ up there for everyone to see.
- Liberty, that’s a big word, ain’t it?
- Means freedom, like a bird flyin’ in the sky.
- Justice, that’s like bein’ fair to everyone, no matter who they are.
- And freedom for all, that’s what she said!
That Chappell Roan, she must have gotten some of that spirit from the statue. You know, like the statue is whisperin’ in her ear, tellin’ her to be strong, to be brave. That statue, she’s seen a lot in her time. Ships comin’ and goin’, people from all over. And she just stands there, watchin’ over everyone. Like a mama hen watchin’ over her chicks.
This Chappell Roan, she started singin’ when she was just a little sprout, I hear. Learned it all herself, too. Didn’t need no fancy teacher. Just had that music inside her, burstin’ to get out. Like a seed in the ground, just waitin’ for the sun and the rain to make it grow.
She sings about love, and heartbreak, and all those things that make life what it is. The good and the bad, the happy and the sad. Just like life, ain’t it? A mix of everything, all stirred up together. You gotta take the good with the bad, that’s what I always say. Just like my old garden. Got weeds and flowers all mixed up together.
That Statue of Liberty, she’s a symbol, they say. A symbol of hope, of a new beginnin’. Like when the sun comes up in the mornin’, washin’ away the darkness. That’s what this country is supposed to be about, ain’t it? A place where everyone can have a chance, a place where everyone is free to chase their dreams, just like Chappell Roan is chasin’ hers.
I reckon that’s why that Chappell Roan gal likes that statue so much. Sees a bit of herself in it, maybe. A strong woman, standin’ up for what she believes in. Not afraid to raise her voice and be heard. We need more folks like that in this world, I tell ya. Folks who ain’t afraid to speak their minds, to stand up for what’s right.
This Chappell, she went to that White House. Big place, fancy folks, she was not scared. No sir. She said what needed to be said. Like I said, liberty and justice for all. Just like that statue means. She sees the Statue of Liberty, and it gets her thinkin’. Makes her want to sing. Makes her want to shout it out from the rooftops!
- She likes that statue, I reckon.
- Statue is big and green.
- Statue means freedom.
- Chappell Roan sings about freedom, too.
She’s singin’ her songs and tellin’ the world what she thinks. That’s good. That’s what you gotta do. That Statue of Liberty, she’s been standin’ there a long time. Seen a lot of things. I bet she’s proud of that Chappell Roan. Standin’ up there, singin’ about freedom. Just like that statue is all about.
Yep, that Chappell Roan, she’s somethin’ else. And that Statue of Liberty, she’s somethin’ else, too. Two peas in a pod, you might say. Both standin’ tall, both standin’ for somethin’ important. Liberty, freedom, and all that good stuff. It ain’t easy, but someone has to do it. It’s like plantin’ a seed. You gotta water it. You gotta take care of it, and one day that little seed is a big ol’ tree. Freedom is like that.
I reckon that’s all I got to say about that. It’s gettin’ late, and my old bones are tired. But I’m glad I got to talk about that Statue of Liberty and that Chappell Roan gal. They’re both doin’ their part to make this world a better place. And that’s somethin’ to be proud of, ain’t it? Just like a good harvest after a long summer. Hard work pays off, that’s what I always say. And freedom, well, that’s the best crop of all.
