Ellis Island

This I pray, Ellis Island
Give me pride and identity
Lead the way to my direction
Breathe new life in liberty
Please I beg, Mother Ellis
Bring me peace and rock me to sleep
Coddle me with your affection
Keep me wrapped in
Your warm safety

This I beg, Ellis, baby
Move me past remembering
Make me new from my nostalgia
End my fear in beginning
Please I pray, Ellis Island
Fill my voice inside of the cracks
Turn this mouse into choir
Never hiding
From who I am

Hmmm
Hmmm
Hmmm
Hmmm
