about
Immigrant is a song about compassion and the reality that we are all Immigrants. Ideally thought provoking and healing.
lyrics
If we all get together and we sing this song
Tell everybody, everybody to come along
Well my great great granddaddy worked his fingers to the bone nearly everyday
He stood up and took a look around, took a look around, and said there’s got to be a better way
So my great great granddaddy came down from the hills in Lebanon
He went to the coast, he got on a boat and sailed right over to the USA
Yeah Yeah Yeah
Well he was an immigrant and
She was as an immigrant
That makes you an immigrant too
Please tell me, what are we gonna do?
What is American? who is American?
Aren’t you American too?
Please tell me - What does it mean to you?
If we all get together and we sing this song
Tell everybody, everybody to come along
Yeah Yeah, Oh Yeah, yeah yeah
I am American from an immigrant, just like you
Tell me why is this just for you?
I am American from an immigrant, just like you
Tell me why is America just for you?
He is an immigrant and
She is an immigrant and
We all are immigrants
We all are immigrants
What is American
Who is American
