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 |
