Ellis Island Lyrics

Ellis Island

Sailing in from a foreign land someone here will lend a hand

Hoping something can come of this as we land at Ellis Isle

Little babies in cargo stow clouds above the sea below

Got a million more miles to go as we land at Ellis Isle

Ellis Island gateway to the land of opportunity

Ellis Island standing proud next to Lady Liberty

Stick together through thick and thin holding on remembering

Everything that we left behind as we land at Ellis Isle

Standing here on the other side New York name with old world pride

Gonna struggle and make our way in this home across the sea

Ellis Island gateway to the land of opportunity

Ellis Island standing proud next to Lady Liberty

Uncle Louie and Auntie Gus just arrived to live with us

We know just what they're going through 'cause they came through Ellis Isle

Family growing and spreading out Americans without a doubt

Take a look at this old snapshot of the lines at Ellis Isle

Ellis Island gateway to the land of opportunity

Ellis Island standing proud next to Lady Liberty

Sailing in from a foreign land someone here will lend a hand

Huddled mass of humanity and we came through Ellis Isle
