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 |
