The Immigrant's Song (Song for Adriana)

Words & Music by Folky MacFolk Face (2018)

​He sat beside me as we stared at the sun,
And he told me the tale of the journey he’d done.
Across the ocean, far from his home,
Far from those places he’d known.

Then he told me of his land by the sea,
His dreams for the future, what it could be,
And he told me of a life torn apart,
And the thorn buried deep in his heart.

Then he whistled a sweet melody,
As we gazed in the fire, as we looked out to sea.
Then he sang, in his own foreign tongue,
A song that we knew as one.

And we sang until dawn,
As free as the moon and the sun.

And we sang the immigrant’s song,
We sang to the sea and the dawn.
Yes, we sang the immigrant’s song,
We sang till the fire was gone.

No deserver of his unchosen fate,
Sent here unwilling through hell’s fiery gates.
To salvation, on this foreign shore,
Driven from paradise lost.

Then he asked “How can I find my way home?
I’m lost and I’m broken, my heart feels like stone.”
Then he sang again and we all sang along,
And for a moment we were all home.

And the fire’s still burning strong,
Though that time and those faces are gone.

And we sang the immigrant’s song,
We sang to the sea and the dawn.
Yes, we sang the immigrant’s song,
We sang till the fire was gone.

And we sang the immigrant’s song,
We sang to the sea and the dawn.
Yes, we sang the immigrant’s song,
We sang till the fire was gone.
