Lyrics by Joan Baez, Music by Ennio Morricone)
2
"Give to me your tired and your poor
3
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free
4
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore
5
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me."
6
Blessed are the persecuted
7
And blessed are the pure in heart
8
Blessed are the merciful
9
And blessed are the ones who mourn
10
The step is hard that tears away the roots
11
And says goodbye to friends and family
12
The fathers and the mothers weep
13
The children cannot comprehend
14
But when there is a promised land
15
The brave will go and others follow
16
The beauty of the human spirit
17
Is the will to try our dreams
18
And so the masses teemed across the ocean
19
To a land of peace and hope
20
But no one heard a voice or saw a light
21
As they were tumbled onto shore
22
And none was welcomed by the echo of the phrase
23
"I lift my lamp beside the golden door."
24
Blessed are the persecuted
25
And blessed are the pure in heart
26
Blessed are the merciful
27
And blessed are the ones who mourn
