Immigrant

Coming from where he did
 He was turned away from
 Every door like Joseph
 To even the toughest among us
 That would be too much
 He didn't know what it was to be black
 'Til they gave him his change, but didn't want to touch his hand
 To even the toughest among us
 Don't you know that would be too much?
 Isn't it just enough
 How hard it is to live (how hard it is to live)?
 Isn't it hard enough
 Just to make it through a day? (Oh-oh)
 The secret of their fear
 And their suspicion
 Standing there looking like an angel
 In his brown shoes, his short suit, his white shirt
 And his cuff's a little frayed
 Coming from where he did
 He was such a dignified child
 To even the toughest among us
 Don't you know that would be too much?
 Isn't it just enough
 How hard it is to live (how hard it is to live)?
 Isn't it hard enough
 Just to make it through a day? (Oh-oh-yeah)
 Coming from where he did
 He was turned away from
 Every door like Joseph
 To even the toughest among us
 Don't you know that would be too much?
 He didn't know what it was to be black
 'Til they gave him his change, but didn't want to touch his hand
 To even the toughest among us
 That would be too much
