Immigrant |
Coming from where he did |
He was turned away from |
Every door like Joseph |
To even the toughest among us |
That would be too much |
He didn’t know what it was to be black |
'til they gave him his change |
But didn’t want to touch his hand |
To even the toughest among us |
Don’t you know that would be too much |
Isn’t it just enough |
How hard it is to live |
Isn’t it hard enough |
Just to make it through a day |
The secret of their fear and their suspicion |
Standing there looking like an angel |
In his brown shoes |
His short suit |
His white shirt |
And his cuffs a little frayed |
Coming from where he did |
He was such a dignified child |
To even the toughest among us |
Don’t you know that would be too much |
Isn’t it just enough |
How hard it is to live |
Isn’t it hard enough |
Just to make it through a day |
Coming from where he did |
He was turned away from |
Every door like Joseph |
To even the toughest among us |
Don’t you know that would be too much |
He didn’t know what it was to be black |
'til they gave him his change |
But didn’t want to touch his hand |
To even the toughest among us |
That would be too much |
