rate me

On The First Day On January, <br />eighteen Ninety-Two, <br />they Opened Ellis Island And They Let <br />the People Through. <br />and The First To Cross The Treshold <br />of That Isle Of Hope And Tears, <br />was Annie Moore From Ireland <br />who Was All Of Fifteen Years. <br /> <br />chorus: <br /> <br />isle Of Hope, Isle Of Tears, <br />isle Of Freedom, Isle Of Fears, <br />but It's Not The Isle You Left Behind. <br />that Isle Of Hunger, Isle Of Pain, <br />isle You'll Never See Again <br />but The Isle Of Home Is Always On Your Mind. <br /> <br />in A Little Bag She Carried <br />all Her Past And History, <br />and Her Dreams For The Future <br />in The Land Of Liberty. <br />and Courage Is The Passport <br />when Your Old World Disappears <br />but There's No Future In The Past <br />when You're Fifteen Years <br /> <br />chorus <br /> <br />when They Closed Down Ellis Island <br />in Nineteen Fourty-Three, <br />seventeen Million People <br />had Come There For Sanctuary. <br />and In Springtime When I Came Here <br />and I Stepped Onto It's Piers, <br />i Thought Of How It Must Have Been <br />when You're Fifteen Years. <br /> <br />chorus<br /><br />
