Immigrant's Daughter - Margaret Becker[00:00:08]

Grandma sailed the Irish coast[00:00:30]

When she was barely thirteen[00:00:32]

She was young enough[00:00:37]

To believe in her dreams[00:00:39]

And working at a sweatshop[00:00:43]

Down on Bleeker Street[00:00:46]

Staring out the window[00:00:50]

She could see Miss Liberty[00:00:53]

The price didn't seem too steep[00:00:57]

She believed in a nation[00:01:00]

She believed in love[00:01:04]

She believed in loyalty[00:01:07]

And she put her fate in the hands of God[00:01:10]

I believed in a nation[00:01:15]

That's got more than land and water[00:01:17]

I hope I have the simple faith[00:01:21]

The silent strength[00:01:24]

Of the immigrant's daughter[00:01:27]

She could not be halted[00:01:35]

By famine or disease[00:01:38]

She married America[00:01:42]

And she scrubbed it on her knees[00:01:45]

Fiercely devoted[00:01:50]

To who was yet to be[00:01:52]

She gladly gave her reverence[00:01:55]

To the high authority[00:01:59]

The price didn't seem too steep[00:02:04]

She believed in a nation[00:02:06]

She believed in love[00:02:10]

She believed in loyalty[00:02:13]

And she put her fate in the hands of God[00:02:16]

I believe in a nation[00:02:20]

That's got more than land and water[00:02:23]

I hope I have the simple faith[00:02:26]

The silent strength[00:02:30]

Of the Immigrant's daughter[00:02:31]

I look at the photographs[00:03:01]

On my naked wall[00:03:04]

The gallery of legacy[00:03:08]

Has such a haunting call[00:03:11]

And falling down on my knees[00:03:15]

The calling comes to me[00:03:17]

I'm gonna run to the land of the living[00:03:21]

And take everyone that I can with me[00:03:24]

I believe in a nation[00:03:27]

I believe in love[00:03:31]

I believe in loyalty[00:03:34]

And I put my fate in the hands of God[00:03:37]

I believe in a nation[00:03:41]

That's got more than land and water[00:03:44]

I hope I have the simple faith[00:03:47]

The silent strength[00:03:51]

Of the Immigrant's daughter[00:03:52]

I hope I have that simple faith[00:04:05]
