[00:01.472]I didn't see the Statue of Liberty
[00:07.850]Never heard her welcoming words
[00:13.268]I came through the back door, silently
[00:18.721]Unwanted, unseen and unheard
[00:30.204]I know I'm lonely in this country
[00:35.071]I think I always have been
[00:40.327]I knew as a child I'd leave Ireland
[00:45.617]The goodbyes were ghosts in the wind
[00:51.241]A dream handed down in my family
[00:56.283]Uncle Pat and Aunt Han before him
[01:01.879]And over the radio to haunt me
[01:07.420]All the songs they sang were of leaving
[01:12.855]I didn't see the Statue of Liberty
[01:18.319]Never heard her welcoming words
[01:24.004]I came through the back door, silently
[01:29.557]Unwanted, unseen and unheard
[01:40.778]I don't mind hard work for a living
[01:46.283]There's so much I'm able to do
[01:52.008]I can't spend my life as a "live-in"
[01:57.251]With nothing to look forward to
[02:03.078]I want my own bed, my own kitchen
[02:08.576]I want my nights to myself
[02:13.818]I don't want to hide underground anymore
[02:19.480]If it means that I hide from myself
[02:24.894]Give me your poor, your tired and your hungry
[02:29.884]The exiles of your teaming shores
[02:35.297]Words carved deep in stone
[02:38.385]And in the hearts back at home
[02:42.766]But not meant for the living anymore
[02:48.552]间奏
[02:59.601]I'm a long time out by the back door
[03:05.068]A long time passing unseen
[03:10.796]The voices that haunt me are harsh now
[03:15.870]Confuse me and urge me to leave
[03:21.512]But I claim the promise of this country
[03:27.299]And I have the right to my own dream
[03:32.437]And no one can take that away from me
[03:37.952]If I have half a chance here, I'm not leaving
[03:43.270]I didn't see the Statue of Liberty
[03:48.653]Never heard her welcoming words
[03:54.508]I came through the back door, silently
[04:00.036]Unwanted, unseen and unheard
[04:09.977]Unwanted, unseen and unheard
