The Corrs - Ellis Island - In support of the Teenage Cancer Trust - March 2025

A song released in 2015 about the hope, challenges & sacrifices faced by Irish immigrants to the United States of America in the mid-19th Century. But also a song that has endless resonance and meaning today in a world where immigration dominates headlines wherever you are.

Lyrics:
On the second Sunday
Annie be my guide
Liberty's a welcome
To an aching eye

We'll grow up together
Far away from home
Crossed the sea and ocean
To the land of hope

Kingstown to Liverpool
Crossing the Irish Sea
You gotta keep your wits on you
Where you lay your head
Six minute medical
Leaving no chalk on me
Goodbye, Ellis Island, hello land of free

Every man and woman
Every girl and boy
Sing out Ellis Island
Sing a song of hope
Sing for us together
Sing we're not alone
Sing we'll go back someday
Sing we will belong

When the leaves are falling
Sky is upon the ground
We will come together
And sing of Ireland

Thanking Ellis Island
Thank you, USA
You gave us a home here
Crying, a brand-new day

Queenstown to New York bay
Wild Atlantic Ocean
You gotta keep your wits on you
Where you lay your head
Six minute medical
Leaving no chalk on me
Goodbye, Ellis Island, hello land of free

Every man and woman
Every girl and boy
Sing out Ellis Island
Sing a song of hope
Sing for us together
Sing we're not alone
Sing we'll go back someday
Sing we will belong

Sing for us together
Sing we're not alone
Sing we'll go back someday
Sing we will belong

Sing out Ellis Island
Sing we're not alone
Sing we'll go back someday
Sing we will belong
Sing we will belong
