I don't own this.
But enjoy here are the lyrics:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On the first day of January, eighteen ninety two
They opened Ellis Island, and let the people through
And the first to cross the threshold
of that isle of hope and tears,
Was Annie Moore from Ireland
Who was all of fifteen years
Isle of hope, Isle of tears, Isle of Freedom, Isle of Fears
But it's not the isle you left behind
That isle of hunger, isle of pain, isle you'll never see again
But the isle of hope is always on your mind
In a little bag she carried, all her past and history
And her dreams for the future, in the land of liberty
The courage is the passport, when you're old world disappears
But there's no future in the past, when you're fifteen years
Isle of hope, isle of tears, isle of freedom, isle of fears
But it's not the isle you left behind
That isle of hunger, isle of pain, isle you'll never see again
but the isle of hope is always on your mind
When they closed down Ellis island, in nineteen forty three
Seventeen million people, had come there for sanctuary
And in springtime when i came here, and I stepped onto its piers
I thought of how it must've been when you're fifteen years
Isle of hope, isle of tears, isle of freedom, isle of fears
but it's not the isle you left behind
that isle of hunger, isle of pain, isle you'll never see again
but the isle of hope is always on your mind
Isle of hope, isle of tears, isle of freedom, isle of fears
but it's not the isle you left behind
that isle of hunger, isle of pain, isle you'll never see again
but the isle of hope is always on your mind
But the isle of hope
is always on your mind

  • I grew up as Anita Rae, I sent my mother into labour on the 1st of January, but for what ever reason I arrived a couple days later. Most of my life my name has been a joke to my family, "Anita needs a lot of things" I wanted to be renamed to Annie or Anna or something more positive than my name had been treated. Instead I saw in myself "Anita Rae of Hope, Anita Rae of Light, Anita Rae of Love" I pronounced it " I need a ray of Hope, Light, Love, etc" I want to learn more about Annie Moore...

    Pardon me, allow me to rephrase:

    That Chloe sure has the face of an angel, I'd be delighted to make sweet passionate love to her. But not before asking her to enter into the sacrament of marriage so we do not sin.

  • @wanderergc do you not have any respect dude if thats the best you can do dude there are websites that you can go to to get anything you want dont disrespect these innocent beautiful angels,, so bugger off dude

  • amazing.

  • @trupnai640 Goodluck, hope you did well. :)

  • I have two midterms tomorrow that is basically gonna determine my future. I'm slowly falling into despair as I'm not completely confident about them tomorrow. I've been wanting to cry all day, but couldn't seem to shed the tears. After hearing this though, I can't help but cry. This song has given me hope again and I'm more confident about tomorrows exams than I was before. Thank you for posting this video up!

  • I love these girls............beautiful..br­eathtaking.....Slainte'

    

  • Why did I automatically think of Kingdom Hearts when I first heard this song?
