I don't own this.
But enjoy here are the lyrics:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On the first day of January, eighteen ninety two
They opened Ellis Island, and let the people through
And the first to cross the threshold
of that isle of hope and tears,
Was Annie Moore from Ireland
Who was all of fifteen years
Isle of hope, Isle of tears, Isle of Freedom, Isle of Fears
But it's not the isle you left behind
That isle of hunger, isle of pain, isle you'll never see again
But the isle of hope is always on your mind
In a little bag she carried, all her past and history
And her dreams for the future, in the land of liberty
The courage is the passport, when you're old world disappears
But there's no future in the past, when you're fifteen years
Isle of hope, isle of tears, isle of freedom, isle of fears
But it's not the isle you left behind
That isle of hunger, isle of pain, isle you'll never see again
but the isle of hope is always on your mind
When they closed down Ellis island, in nineteen forty three
Seventeen million people, had come there for sanctuary
And in springtime when i came here, and I stepped onto its piers
I thought of how it must've been when you're fifteen years
Isle of hope, isle of tears, isle of freedom, isle of fears
but it's not the isle you left behind
that isle of hunger, isle of pain, isle you'll never see again
but the isle of hope is always on your mind
Isle of hope, isle of tears, isle of freedom, isle of fears
but it's not the isle you left behind
that isle of hunger, isle of pain, isle you'll never see again
but the isle of hope is always on your mind
But the isle of hope
is always on your mind
