THE IMMIGRANT Song Lyrics Written by NEIL SEDAKA and Phil Cody - 1975
Lyrics
Harbors opened their arms to the young searching foreignerCome to live in the light of the beacon of libertyPlanes and open skies, billboards would advertiseWas it anything like that when you arrivedDreamboats carry the future to the heart of AmericaPeople were waiting in line for a place by the riverIt was a time when strangers were welcome hereMusic would play, they tell me the days were sweet and clearIt was a sweeter tune and there was so much room that people could come from everywhereNow he arrives with his hopes and his heart set on miraclesCome to marry his fortune with a hand full of promisesTo find they've closed the door, they don't want him anymoreIsn't anymore to go aroundTurning away he remembers he once heard A legend that spoke of a mystical magical land called AmericaThere was a time when strangers were welcome hereMusic would play, they tell me the days were sweet and clearIt was a sweeter tune and there was so much room that people could come from everywhereThere was a time when strangers were welcome hereMusic would play, they tell me the days were sweet and clearThere was a time when strangers were welcome hereMusic would play, they tell me the days were sweet and clear
