Immigrant lyrics

Artist  : Neil Sedaka 
Song : Immigrant
 


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
