Immigrant

Coming from where he did He was turned away from Every door like Joseph To even the toughest among us That would be too much

He didn't know what it was to be black 'Til they gave him his change, but didn't want to touch his hand To even the toughest among us Don't you know that would be too much?

Isn't it just enough How hard it is to live (how hard it is to live)? Isn't it hard enough Just to make it through a day? (Oh-oh)

The secret of their fear And their suspicion Standing there looking like an angel In his brown shoes, his short suit, his white shirt And his cuff's a little frayed

Coming from where he did He was such a dignified child To even the toughest among us Don't you know that would be too much?

Isn't it just enough How hard it is to live (how hard it is to live)? Isn't it hard enough Just to make it through a day? (Oh-oh-yeah)
