On the first day of January 1892,
they opend Ellis Island and they let the people thru
And the first to cross the treasold of that isle of hope and tears
was Anny Moore from Ireland who was only 15 years
Isle of Hope, isle of Tears
isle of freedom, isle of fears
But its not the isle you left behind
that isle of hunger, isle of pain
isle you never see again
but the isle of hope is always on your mind
in a little bag she carried, all her past and history
and her dreams for the future, in the land of liberty
and currage is the passport when your old world dissapeard
but theres no future in the past, when your 15 years
Isle of Hope, isle of Tears
isle of freedom, isle of fears
But its not the isle you left behind
that isle of hunger, isle of pain
isle you never see again
but the isle of hope is always on your mind
When they closed down Ellis Island in 1943
seventeen million people had come there for century
and in springtime when I came here and I stepped onto its pears
I thought of how it must have been when youre 15 years
Isle of Hope, isle of Tears
isle of freedom, isle of fears
But its not the isle you left behind
that isle of hunger, isle of pain
isle you never see again
but the isle of hope is always on your mind
Isle of Hope, isle of Tears
isle of freedom, isle of fears
But its not the isle you left behind
that isle of hunger, isle of pain
isle you never see again
but the isle of hope is always on your mind.
but the isle of home is always on your mind.
