about

My ancestors were immigrants - how about yours? Except for those with indigenous roots, we are a nation of immigrants - some willing, others not.

lyrics

Folks have traveled by land and sea (3x)
Some enslaved while others free

Some look like you, some look like me (3x)
And they're all seeking opportunity

There's been searching for many years (3x)
And the shedding of blood, sweat and tears

Souls are longing to be fed (3x)
Many hearts are hanging by a thread

Our ancestors were immigrants too (3x)
Searching for a better home for me and you

Folks are traveling by land and sea (3x)
So their children might someday be free
