Listen to the music: Maestro Sersea – The Immigrant Ballads, Vol. 1
Sing along with the lyrics:
[Verse 1]
I left from a place where the road was tough,
No turning back, yeah, I’ve had enough.
Chasing dreams in the land of the free,
I want to be my best, just wait and see.
Counted every blessing, and I’m feeling alive,
In America now, I’ve got the drive.
With open arms, you welcomed me in,
Together with faith, I know we’ll win.
[Chorus]
I’m rolling up my sleeves, I’m ready to work,
Got a heart full of hope and a spirit that won’t shirk.
I’ve got lots to give, I’m reaching for the top,
With love in our hearts, there’s no way we’ll stop.
Generations ago, you’ve walked this line,
No one gave up, and I’ll follow your sign.
[Verse 2]
I’ve seen struggle and I’ve felt the pain,
But through every storm, I’ll dance in the rain.
Nothing easy comes, it’s a hard-fought fight,
But I’m willing to do what it takes to make it right.
Through hard times and trials, I’ll stand tall and proud,
With my roots held deep, I’ll shout it loud.
America, oh land of my dreams,
Together we’ll rise, bursting at the seams.
[Chorus]
I’m rolling up my sleeves, I’m ready to work,
Got a heart full of hope and a spirit that won’t shirk.
I’ve got lots to give, I’m reaching for the top,
With love in our hearts, there’s no way we’ll stop.
Generations ago, you’ve walked this line,
No one gave up, and I’ll follow your sign.
[Bridge]
So here’s to the journey, come join hand in hand,
Together we’ll build across this great land.
With unity strong, there’s nothing we lack,
With faith and with love, there’s no looking back.
[Chorus]
I’m rolling up my sleeves, I’m ready to work,
Got a heart full of hope and a spirit that won’t shirk.
I’ve got lots to give, I’m reaching for the top,
With love in our hearts, there’s no way we’ll stop.
Generations ago, you’ve walked this line,
No one gave up, and I’ll follow your sign.
[Outro]
So thank you for welcoming me here today,
With dreams we’ll forge, we’re paving the way.
Together we’ll rise, with our heads held high,
In the land of the brave, we’ll reach for the sky.
