作词 : Robin Jackson 作曲 : Robin Jackson Oh you came so far oh you came so far All alone, just sixteen All alone, mama said be strong You were the one, you were the one Who bade farewell to mother Russia Tolstoy broke your heart and set you free You were the one who carried the torch For your own Mishpoke You brought your courage across the sea Dark was the night Cossacks shook you awake So you took flight mama goodnight, goodnight Light, shine on the river black Travel at dawn never to come back You left it all you left it all And found the shores of Boston Cobblestones and cousins brought you in From brick to bone, you built a home From the ghosts within your hands From Latvia to land we are your Kin
A note in your hand you boarded the train Babka in your pocket, your feet so cold Uncle dear uncle let me forget What soap does for the body, tears do for the soul You left it all you left it all And found the shores of Boston Cobblestones and cousins brought you in From brick to bone, you built a home From the ghosts within your hands From Latvia to land we are your Kin
