They were standing in line just like cattle
C

D
Some were one desk
away from sweet freedom
C
D

Through this sprawling Tower of Babel

confused and alone
D
Determined and bound for America
C
D
And carrying all that he owned
G

G
said grandfather's immigrant eyes

the gift of this country

And the look in his immigrant eyes
