Grandma sailed the Irish coast   When she was barely thirteen   She was young enough   To believe in her dreams      Working at a sweatshop   Down on Bleeker Street   Staring out the window   She could see Miss Liberty      The price didn't seem too steep      She believed in a nation   She believed in love   She believed in loyalty   And she put her fate in the hands of God      I believed in a nation   That's got more than land and water   I hope, I have the simple faith   The silent strength of the immigrant's daughter      She could not be halted   By famine or disease   She married America   And she scrubbed it on her knees      Fiercely devoted   To who was yet to be   She gladly gave her reverence   To the high authority      The price didn't seem too steep      She believed in a nation   She believed in love   She believed in loyalty   And she put her fate in the hands of God      I believed in a nation   That's got more than land and water   I hope, I have the simple faith   The silent strength of the immigrant's daughter      I look at the photographs   ([Incomprehensible])   On my naked wall   ([Incomprehensible])   The gallery of legacy   ([Incomprehensible])   Has such a haunting call   ([Incomprehensible])      Falling down on my knees   ([Incomprehensible])   The calling comes to me   ([Incomprehensible])   I'm gonna run to the land of the living   And take everyone that I can with me      I believe in a nation   I believe in love   I believe in loyalty   And I put my fate in the hands of God      I believe in a nation   That's got more than land and water   I hope, I have the simple faith   The silent strength of the Immigrant's daughter   I hope, I have that simple faith
