As my feet touched solid ground
I felt a chill run down my spine
I could almost hear the sound
Of thousands pushing through the lines
Mothers and bewildered wives
That sailed across the raging sea
Others running for their lives
To the Land of Opportunity
Down on Ellis Island
Ohh, oh... down on Ellis Island
I felt a chill run down my spine
I could almost hear the sound
Of thousands pushing through the lines
Mothers and bewildered wives
That sailed across the raging sea
Others running for their lives
To the Land of Opportunity
Down on Ellis Island
Ohh, oh... down on Ellis Island
