Lyrics Isle of Hope, Isle of Tears (live The Forge sessions)

On the first day on January eighteen ninety-two they opened Ellis Island and they let the people through

And the first to cross the treshold of that isle of hope and tears was Annie Moore from Ireland who was only fifteen years

Isle of Hope, Isle of Tears

Isle of Freedom, Isle of Fears

But it's not the isle you left behind

That Isle of Hunger, Isle of Pain

Isle you'll never see again

But the isle of home 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 courage is your passport when your old world disappears

But there's no future in the past when you're fifteen years

Isle of Hope, Isle of Tears

Isle of Freedom, Isle of Fears

But it's not the isle you left behind

That Isle of Hunger, Isle of Pain

Isle you'll never see again

But the isle of home is always on your mind

When they closed down

Ellis Island in nineteen forty-three

Seventeen million people had come there for sanctuary

And in springtime when I came here and I stepped onto its piers

I thought of how it must have been when you're fifteen years

Isle of Hope, Isle of Tears

Isle of Freedom, Isle of Fears

But it's not the isle you left behind

That Isle of Hunger, Isle of Pain

Isle you'll never see again

But the isle of home is always on your mind

That Isle of Hunger, Isle of Pain

Isle you'll never see again

But the isle of home is always on your mind
