Immigrant's Daughter |
| Grandma sailed the Irish coast |
| When she was barely thirteen |
| She was young enough |
| To believe in her dreams |
| Working at a sweatshop |
| Down on Bleeker Street |
| Staring out the window |
| She could see Miss Liberty |
| The price didn’t seem too steep |
| She believed in a nation |
| She believed in love |
| She believed in loyalty |
| And she put her fate in the hands of God |
| I believed in a nation |
| That’s got more than land and water |
| I hope, I have the simple faith |
| The silent strength of the immigrant’s daughter |
| She could not be halted |
| By famine or disease |
| She married America |
| And she scrubbed it on her knees |
| Fiercely devoted |
| To who was yet to be |
| She gladly gave her reverence |
| To the high authority |
| The price didn’t seem too steep |
| She believed in a nation |
| She believed in love |
| She believed in loyalty |
| And she put her fate in the hands of God |
| I believed in a nation |
| That’s got more than land and water |
| I hope, I have the simple faith |
| The silent strength of the immigrant’s daughter |
| I look at the photographs |
| On my naked wall |
| The gallery of legacy |
| Has such a haunting call |
| Falling down on my knees |
| The calling comes to me |
| I’m gonna run to the land of the living |
| And take everyone that I can with me |
| I believe in a nation |
| I believe in love |
| I believe in loyalty |
| And I put my fate in the hands of God |
| I believe in a nation |
| That’s got more than land and water |
| I hope, I have the simple faith |
| The silent strength of the Immigrant’s daughter |
| I hope, I have that simple faith |
