Lyrics

Sailed into the harbor, passengers and crew. So many immigrants like me, waited to pass through. Scrawled our names on walls, leaving the clue, for those to follow.
A laborer by trade, the one you forgot. There is`nt anyone from anywhere, that I am not. Spent my sweat and blood, to get where I`ve got, for those to follow, and they will, like Clouds bring the rain, Clouds bring the rain and the names on the wall, will not wash away.
I go to see my old friends, down at the veterans hall, we get to talkin' and we reminisce, until we`ve said it all. The rest is history, we played our role, for those to follow, and they will, like Clouds bring the rain, Clouds bring the rain, and the names on the wall will not wash away
