The Immigrant

Harbors open their doors to the young searching foreigner

Come to live in the light of the big L of liberty

Plains and open skies bill boards would advertise

Was it anything like that when you arrived?

Dream boats carried the future to the heart of America

People were waiting in line for a place by the river

It was time when strangers were welcome here

Music would play they tell me the days were sweet and clear

It was a sweeter tune and there was so much room

That people could come from everywhere

Now he arrives with hopes and his heart set on miracles

Come to marry his fortune with a hand full of promises

To find they've closed the door they don't want him anymore

There isn't anymore to go around

Turning away he remembers he once heard a legend

That spoke of a mystical magical land called America

It was time when strangers were welcome here

Music would play they tell me the days were sweet and clear

It was a sweeter tune and there was so much room

That people could come from everywhere

It was time when strangers were welcome here

Music would play they tell me the days were sweet and clear

It was a sweeter tune and there was so much room

That people could come from everywhere
