[ti:Isle Of Hope Isle Of Tears]
[ar:Celtic Thunder]
[00:15.12] On The First Day On January Eighteen Ninety-Two,
[00:24.49] They Opened Ellis Island And They Let The People Through.
[00:33.34] And The First To Cross The Treshold
[00:37.84] Of That Isle Of Hope And Tears,
[00:42.29] Was Annie Moore From Ireland
[00:46.46] Who Was All Of Fifteen Years.
[00:52.88] Isle Of Hope,Isle Of Tears,
[00:57.15] Isle Of Freedom,Isle Of Fears,
[01:02.41] But It's Not The Isle You Left Behind.
[01:09.47] That Isle Of Hunger,Isle Of Pain,
[01:13.96] Isle You'll Never See Again
[01:18.79] But The Isle Of Home Is Always On Your Mind.
[01:27.72] In A Little Bag She Carried
[01:32.12] All Her Past And History,
[01:36.06] And Her Dreams For The Future
[01:39.97] In The Land Of Liberty.
[01:43.98] And Courage Is The Passport
[01:47.66] When Your Old World Disappears
[01:51.67] But There's No Future In The Past
[01:55.77] When You're Fifteen Years
[02:01.58] Isle Of Hope,Isle Of Tears,
[02:05.72] Isle Of Freedom,Isle Of Fears,
[02:10.35] But It's Not The Isle You Left Behind.
[02:17.17] That Isle Of Hunger,Isle Of Pain,
[02:21.15] Isle You'll Never See Again
[02:26.07] But The Isle Of Home Is Always On Your Mind.
[02:50.15] When They Closed Down Ellis Island
[02:54.96] In Nineteen Fourty-Three,
[02:59.40] Seventeen Million People
[03:02.77] Had Come There For Sanctuary.
[03:07.06] And In Springtime When I Came Here
[03:11.13] And I Stepped Onto It's Piers,
[03:15.28] I Thought Of How It Must Have Been
[03:19.54] When You're Fifteen Years.
[03:25.37] Isle Of Hope,Isle Of Tears,
[03:29.34] Isle Of Freedom,Isle Of Fears,
[03:33.98] But It's Not The Isle You Left Behind.
[03:40.94] That Isle Of Hunger,Isle Of Pain,
[03:45.06] Isle You'll Never See Again
[03:49.91] But The Isle Of Home Is Always On Your Mind.
[04:00.13] The Isle Of Home Is Always On Your Mind.
