Immigrant Eyes - Guy Clark[00:00:00]

Oh ellis island was swarming[00:00:10]

Like a scene from a costume hall[00:00:15]

Decked out in the colors in europe[00:00:20]

And on fire with the hope of it all[00:00:24]

There stood my father's own father stood huddled[00:00:29]

With the tired and hungry and scared[00:00:35]

Turn of the century pilgrims[00:00:40]

Bound by the dream that they shared[00:00:45]

They were standing in lines just like cattle[00:00:53]

Poked and prodded and shoved[00:00:58]

Some were one desk away from sweet freedom[00:01:03]

Som were were torn from someone they love[00:01:08]

Through this sprawling tower of babel[00:01:13]

Came a young man confused and alone[00:01:18]

Determined and bound for America[00:01:24]

And carryin' everything that he owned[00:01:29]

Sometimes when I look in my grandfather's immigrant eyes[00:01:37]

I see that day refelcted and I can't hold my feelings inside[00:01:44]

I see starting with nothing and working hard all of his life[00:01:52]

So don't take it for granted say grandfather's immigrant eyes[00:02:01]

I'm at rocks and stares out the window[00:02:22]

But his eyes are still just as clear[00:02:28]

As the day he sailed through the harbor[00:02:33]

And come ashore on the island of tears[00:02:39]

My grandfather's days are numbered[00:02:44]

But I won't let his memory die[00:02:50]

'Cause he gave me the gift of this country[00:02:55]

And the look in his immigrant eyes[00:03:01]

Sometimes when I look in my grandfather's immigrant eyes[00:03:06]

I see that day refelcted and I can't hold my feelings inside[00:03:14]

I see starting with nothing and working hard all of his life[00:03:22]

So don't take it for granted say grandfather's immigrant eyes[00:03:30]

So don't take it for granted say grandfather's immigrant eyes[00:03:41]
