The New Ground - Isle Of Hope,Isle Of Tears - Celtic Woman

On the first day of 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 all of 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 the 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

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

But the isle of home

Is always on your mind
