Isle of Hope, Isle of Tears (2015 Version) - Celtic Thunder
On the first day of January 1892
They opened Ellis Island and they let the people through
And the first to cross the threshold of that isle of hope and tears
Was Annie Moore from Ireland
Who was all of 15 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 15 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 1943
17 million people had come there for sanctuary
And in spring time when I came here
And I stepped onto its piers
I thought of how it must have been
When you're 15 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
The isle of home is always on your mind
