Isle of Hope Isle of Tears - Celtic Thunder[00:00:01]
On the first day of January 1892[00:00:15]
They opened Ellis Island and they let the people through[00:00:24]
And the first to cross the threshold of that isle of hope and tears[00:00:33]
Was Annie Moore from Ireland[00:00:42]
Who was all of 15 years [00:00:46]
Isle of hope Isle of tears[00:00:53]
Isle of freedom isle of fears[00:00:57]
But it's not the isle you left behind[00:01:02]
That isle of hunger isle of pain[00:01:09]
Isle you'll never see again[00:01:14]
But the isle of home is always on your mind [00:01:18]
In a little bag she carried all her past and history[00:01:28]
And her dreams for the future in the land of liberty[00:01:36]
And courage is the passport[00:01:44]
When your old world disappears[00:01:47]
But there's no future in the past[00:01:52]
When you're 15 years [00:01:56]
Isle of hope Isle of tears[00:02:01]
Isle of freedom isle of fears[00:02:06]
But it's not the isle you left behind[00:02:10]
That isle of hunger isle of pain[00:02:17]
Isle you'll never see again[00:02:21]
But the isle of home is always on your mind [00:02:26]
When they closed down Ellis Island in 1943[00:02:50]
17 million people had come there for sanctuary[00:02:59]
And in spring time when I came here[00:03:07]
And I stepped onto its piers[00:03:11]
I thought of how it must have been[00:03:15]
When you're 15 years [00:03:19]
Isle of hope Isle of tears[00:03:25]
Isle of freedom isle of fears[00:03:29]
But it's not the isle you left behind[00:03:34]
That isle of hunger isle of pain[00:03:41]
Isle you'll never see again[00:03:45]
But the isle of home is always on your mind [00:03:50]
The isle of home is always on your mind[00:04:00]
