[00:12.000] Oh, Ellis Island was swarming
[00:17.000] Like a scene from a costume ball
[00:23.000] Decked out in the colors of Europe
[00:27.000] And on fire with the hope of it all
[00:33.000] There my father's own father stood huddled
[00:38.000] With the tired and hungry and scared
[00:44.000] Turn of the century pilgrims
[00:49.000] Bound by the dream that they shared
[00:56.000] They were standing in line just like cattle
[01:02.000] Poked and sorted and shoved
[01:07.000] Some were one desk away from sweet freedom
[01:12.000] Some were torn from someone they love
[01:17.000] Through this sprawling Tower of Babel
[01:22.000] Came a young man, confused and alone
[01:28.000] Determined and bound for America
[01:33.000] And carrying all that he owned
[01:41.000] Sometimes when I looked in my grandfather's immigrant eyes
[01:48.000] I saw that day reflected and I couldn't hold my feelings inside
[01:56.000] I saw started with nothing and working hard all of his life
[02:04.000] "So don't take it for granted," said grandfather's immigrant eyes
[02:56.000] He would rock and stare out the window
[03:01.000] But his eyes are still just as clear
[03:07.000] As the day he sailed through the Harbor
[03:11.000] And come ashore on that island of tears
[03:17.000] My grandfather's days were numbered
[03:22.000] But I won't let his memory die
[03:27.000] 'Cause he gave me the gift of this country
[03:32.000] And the look in his immigrant eyes
[03:38.000] Sometimes when I looked in my grandfather's immigrant eyes
[03:45.000] I saw that day reflected and couldn't hold my feelings inside
[03:53.000] I saw started with nothing and working hard all of his life
[04:01.000] "So don't take it for granted," said grandfather's immigrant eyes
[04:12.000] "Don't take it for granted," said grandfather's immigrant eyes

[00:12.000] 埃利斯岛挤满了人群
[00:17.000] 宛若化装舞会的场景
[00:23.000] 穿上欧洲的盛装
[00:27.000] 希望一切如愿以偿
[00:33.000] 我的祖父站在那里 缩成一团
[00:38.000] 带着疲惫、饥饿与恐惧
[00:44.000] 世纪之交的移民们
[00:49.000] 被他们共同的梦想凝聚
[00:56.000] 他们像牛一样排成行
[01:02.000] 被分类挑选
[01:07.000] 有些与自由甜蜜咫尺相隔
[01:12.000] 有些与心爱之人生离死别
[01:17.000] 穿过这个绵延的巴别塔
[01:22.000] 一个年轻人 带着困惑与孤独
[01:28.000] 决心前往美国
[01:33.000] 带着他的所有东西
[01:41.000] 有时我看着祖父的眼 那移民的眼
[01:48.000] 我看到了那一天的倒影
[01:56.000] 我看到了他一生努力工作
[02:04.000] 没有什么是我理所应当
[02:56.000] 祖父会坐在摇椅 盯着窗外
[03:01.000] 他的眼睛依然如此清澈
[03:07.000] 正如那天他驶过港口
[03:11.000] 在泪水之岛上岸
[03:17.000] 我祖父已时日无多
[03:22.000] 但我不会让他的记忆消逝
[03:27.000] 他给了我这个国家的礼物
[03:32.000] 他移民的眼睛
[03:38.000] 有时我看着祖父的眼 那移民的眼
[03:45.000] 我看到了那一天的倒影
[03:53.000] 我看到了他一生努力工作
[04:01.000] 没有什么是我理所应当
[04:12.000] 没有什么是我理所应当
