Immigrant Day
Jim Buckley lyrics and music 7-5-2018
inspired by Bill Vanaver

F-C-G-C
Just in case you forgot
America's a Melting Pot
From sea to shining sea
Folks come from here and there
And everywhere
To be a part of the Home of the Free

Chorus  F-C-G-C
So let's all sing
And let Freedom Ring
For Everyone Everywhere
And let's All join hands
Cause United We Stand
And with our brothers let's share

C-F-C-G    C-F-C-G-C
One day Laboulaye did say
Someone should build a statue someday
To Enlighten the World with Liberty
And in 1886 on October 28
Lady Liberty stood at the harbor's gate
To welcome Everyone to the home of the Free

Chorus

But now some of the Immigrants who came before
Want to build a wall and lock the door
To rob everyone else of the American Dream
They're spreading fear with false alarms
They're even taking babies from their Mothers arms
To rob Everyone else of the American Dream

F-C, F-G
It makes me sad
And it makes me mad
Oh we can't sit idlily by
And if we all work together
Like birds of a feather
Up high in the sky we will fly

F-C-G-C
So Let's join hands and sing
And Let Freedom Ring
And celebrate Lady Liberty
And on Immigrant Day
I hope and I pray
That Everyone is Free
And on Immigrant Day
I hope and I pray
That Everyone is Free
Yes Each and Everyday
I hope and I pray
That Everyone is Free
