The Immigrant

Plains and open skies bill boards would advertise
It was time when strangers were welcome here
Turning away he remembers he once heard a legend

There isn't anymore to go around
It was a sweeter tune and there was so much room
To find they've closed the door they don't want him anymore
Come to marry his fortune with a hand full of promises
It was time when strangers were welcome here
That people could come from everywhere
Now he arrives with hopes and his heart set on miracles
It was a sweeter tune and there was so much room
Dream boats carried the future to the heart of America
Was it anything like that when you arrived?

That spoke of a mystical magical land called America
It was time when strangers were welcome here
That people could come from everywhere

Music would play they tell me the days were sweet and clear
Music would play they tell me the days were sweet and clear
People were waiting in line for a place by the river
Music would play they tell me the days were sweet and clear

It was a sweeter tune and there was so much room
