Eb

And on fire with the hope of it all
There my father's own father
stood huddled

With the tired and hungry and scared
F
Turn of the century pilgrims
Eb
F
Bb
Bound by the dream that they shared
They were standing in line just like cattle
Eb
Dm
Cm
Poked and sorted and shoved
F
Some were one desk
away from sweet freedom
Eb
F
Some were torn from someone
Bb
they love
Through this sprawling Tower of Babel
Eb
Came a young man,
Dm
Cm
confused and alone
F
Determined and bound for America
Eb
F
And carrying all that he owned
Bb
Verse 2
Eb
Sometimes when I looked in my
Bb
grandfather's immigrant eyes
F
I saw that day reflected and I couldn't
Bb

I saw started with nothing

and working hard all of his life
F
"So don't take it for granted,"
Bb
said grandfather's immigrant eyes

He would rock and stare out the window

But his eyes are still just as clear

of tears
My grandfather's days were numbered

But I won't let his memory die

'Cause he gave me
the gift of this country

And the look in his immigrant eyes
