Lyrics:
She was a sweet little girl
With no shoes on her feet
She knew not where she was going to

She walked through the streets
With her head held high
Starting a new life
With such a strong sense of pride

There was a young little boy
Not knowing his name
He knew not where his family was

He walked all alone
With no one by his side
He was afraid
Upon his face his fear was displayed

From a world
A very different world
They were not used to this life
In a strange place
A very strange place
The immigrant child

They spoke broken words
Heard words with no meaning
They were alone
Straying through their new found home

From a world
Quite a different world
They were dreaming of a better life
A life full of hope
And possibilities
The immigrant child
