Immigrant Lyrics

Immigrant lyrics

Harbours opened their arms to the young searching foreigner
Come to live in
the light of the beacon of liberty
Planes and open skies, billboards would
advertise
Was it anything like that when you arrived
Dreamboats carry the
future to the heart of America
People were waiting in line for a place by the
river
It was a 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
his 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
isn't anymore to go around
Turning away he remembers he once
heard
a legend that spoke of a mystical magical land called America
There
was a 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
There was a time when strangers
were welcome here
Music would play, they tell me the days were sweet and
clear
There was a time when strangers were welcome here
Music would play,
they tell me the days were sweet and clear
