Isle Of Hope Isle Of Tears - Ronan Tynan[00:00:00]

On the first day of January [00:00:15]

Eighteen ninety-two [00:00:19]

They opened Ellis Island and they let[00:00:22]

The people through [00:00:26]

And first to cross the threshold[00:00:29]

Of that isle of hope and tears [00:00:32]

Was Annie Moore from Ireland[00:00:36]

Who was all of fifteen years [00:00:39]

Isle of hope isle of tears [00:00:44]

Isle of freedom isle of fears [00:00:47]

But it's not the isle you left behind [00:00:51]

That isle of hunger isle of pain [00:00:57]

Isle you'll never see again[00:01:01]

But the isle of home is always on your mind [00:01:05]

In a little bag she carried[00:01:21]

All her past and history [00:01:25]

And her dreams for the future[00:01:28]

In the land of liberty [00:01:31]

And courage is the passport[00:01:35]

When your old world disappears[00:01:38]

But there's no future in the past[00:01:42]

When you're fifteen years[00:01:45]

Isle of hope isle of tears [00:01:49]

Isle of freedom isle of fears [00:01:52]

But it's not the isle you left behind [00:01:56]

That isle of hunger isle of pain [00:02:02]

Isle you'll never see again[00:02:06]

But the isle of home is always on your mind [00:02:10]

When they closed down Ellis Island[00:02:27]

In nineteen forty-three [00:02:32]

Seventeen million people[00:02:37]

Had come there for sanctuary [00:02:40]

And in springtime when I came here[00:02:44]

And I stepped onto it's piers [00:02:48]

I thought of how it must have been[00:02:52]

When you're fifteen years [00:02:56]

Isle of hope isle of tears [00:03:01]

Isle of freedom isle of fears [00:03:04]

But it's not the isle you left behind [00:03:08]

That isle of hunger isle of pain [00:03:14]

Isle you'll never see again[00:03:17]

But the isle of home is always on your mind [00:03:21]

Isle of hope isle of tears [00:03:27]

Isle of freedom isle of fears [00:03:30]

But it's not the isle you left behind [00:03:34]

That isle of hunger isle of pain [00:03:40]

Isle you'll never see again[00:03:44]

But the isle of home is always on your mind [00:03:48]

The isle of home is always on your mind[00:03:55]
