We're All Immigrants
My great grandfather was an immigrant.
He took a boat across the sea.
He dreamed of America, with a yearning to breathe free.
Not much in his pockets but courage in his heart,
He took a boat across the sea and made a brand new start.
He worked hard with his hands and built a life,
Fell in love and found his wife.
They had kids and their family grew,
And each one of them knew, they were immigrants too.
We're all immigrants, we came from every land.
We came to America to be free and make a stand.
My great grandmother was an immigrant.
She took a boat across the sea.
She left her life and a family behind because she yearned to breathe free.
Couldn't speak much English.
But she was good with her hands.
She built a life with a needle and thread.
That's how it all began.
She worked hard with her hands and built a life,
Filled with love and filled with strife.
She had kids and her family grew,
And each one of them knew, they were immigrants, too.
We're all immigrants, we came from every land.
We came to America to be free and make a stand.
Throughout our history people came from every land.
By working hard, they helped to build this great land.
My great grandparents were immigrants.
They took a boat across the sea.
With courage and heart, they made and new start,
And they yearned to breathe free.
They had kids and their kids did, too.
They made a family tree.
They stood up for right and followed the light.
Then came you and me.
They worked hard with their hands and built a life,
Taught their kids to do what's right,
And as their family grew each one of us knew
We were immigrants, too.
We're all immigrants, we came from every land.
We came to America to be free and make a stand.
He took a boat across the sea.
He dreamed of America, with a yearning to breathe free.
Not much in his pockets but courage in his heart,
He took a boat across the sea and made a brand new start.
He worked hard with his hands and built a life,
Fell in love and found his wife.
They had kids and their family grew,
And each one of them knew, they were immigrants too.
We're all immigrants, we came from every land.
We came to America to be free and make a stand.
My great grandmother was an immigrant.
She took a boat across the sea.
She left her life and a family behind because she yearned to breathe free.
Couldn't speak much English.
But she was good with her hands.
She built a life with a needle and thread.
That's how it all began.
She worked hard with her hands and built a life,
Filled with love and filled with strife.
She had kids and her family grew,
And each one of them knew, they were immigrants, too.
We're all immigrants, we came from every land.
We came to America to be free and make a stand.
Throughout our history people came from every land.

My great grandparents were immigrants.

We're all immigrants, we came from every land.
We came to America to be free and make a stand.
