《Immigrant’s Daughter》歌词

[00:00:08] Immigrant's Daughter - Margaret Becker

[00:00:30] Grandma sailed the Irish coast

[00:00:32] When she was barely thirteen

[00:00:37] She was young enough

[00:00:39] To believe in her dreams

[00:00:43] And working at a sweatshop

[00:00:46] Down on Bleeker Street

[00:00:50] Staring out the window

[00:00:53] She could see Miss Liberty

[00:00:57] The price didn't seem too steep

[00:01:00] She believed in a nation

[00:01:04] She believed in love

[00:01:07] She believed in loyalty

[00:01:10] And she put her fate in the hands of God

[00:01:15] I believed in a nation

[00:01:17] That's got more than land and water

[00:01:21] I hope I have the simple faith

[00:01:24] The silent strength

[00:01:27] Of the immigrant's daughter

[00:01:35] She could not be halted

[00:01:38] By famine or disease

[00:01:42] She married America

[00:01:45] And she scrubbed it on her knees

[00:01:50] Fiercely devoted

[00:01:52] To who was yet to be

[00:01:55] She gladly gave her reverence

[00:01:59] To the high authority

[00:02:04] The price didn't seem too steep

[00:02:06] She believed in a nation

[00:02:10] She believed in love

[00:02:13] She believed in loyalty

[00:02:16] And she put her fate in the hands of God

[00:02:20] I believe in a nation

[00:02:23] That's got more than land and water

[00:02:26] I hope I have the simple faith

[00:02:30] The silent strength

[00:02:31] Of the Immigrant's daughter

[00:03:01] I look at the photographs

[00:03:04] On my naked wall

[00:03:08] The gallery of legacy

[00:03:11] Has such a haunting call

[00:03:15] And falling down on my knees

[00:03:17] The calling comes to me

[00:03:21] I'm gonna run to the land of the living

[00:03:24] And take everyone that I can with me

[00:03:27] I believe in a nation

[00:03:31] I believe in love

[00:03:34] I believe in loyalty

[00:03:37] And I put my fate in the hands of God

[00:03:41] I believe in a nation

[00:03:44] That's got more than land and water

[00:03:47] I hope I have the simple faith

[00:03:51] The silent strength

[00:03:52] Of the Immigrant's daughter

[00:04:05] I hope I have that simple faith
