City Of Immigrants

Lyricist:Steve Earle

Livin' in a city of immigrants
I don't need to go travelin'
Open my door and the world walks in
Livin' in a city of immigrants

Livin' in a city that never sleeps
My heart keepin' time to a thousand beats
Singin' in languages I don't speak
Livin' in a city of immigrants

City of black, city of white
City of light, city of innocence
City of sweat, city of tears
City of prayers, city of immigrants

Livin' in a city where the dreams of men
Reach up to touch the sky and then
Tumble back down to earth again
Livin' in a city that never quits

Livin' in a city where the streets are paved
With good intentions and then the people's faith
In the sacred promise a statue made
Livin' in a city of immigrants

City of stone, city of steel

City of wheels constantly spinnin'
City of bone, city of skin
City of pain, city of immigrants

All of us are immigrants
Every daughter, every son
Everyone is everyone
All of us are immigrants, everyone

Livin' in a city of immigrants
River flows out and the sea rolls in
Washin' away nearly all of my sins
Livin' in a city of immigrants

City of black, city of white
City of light, I'm livin' in a city of immigrants
City of sweat, city of tears
City of prayers, livin' in a city of immigrants

City of stone, city of steel
City of wheels, livin' in a city of immigrants
City of bone, city of skin
City of pain, city of immigrants

All of us are immigrants
All of us are immigrants
