Life is not worth having, with all it can give; For something beyond it poor man must live...

Come over the oceans,
With food and something to eat,
Over the great oceans,
With hope and prosperity,
Over the oceans of boundless horizons,
With help and aid,
Come, ever attending,
Come like a mother,
With good will and hope
Come over the oceans,
With the stars in your hands shining,
And the moon as a mysterious mask,
With hope,
When you arrive,
For helping the poor and unemployed.
For the hope for the youngsters.
Come over the oceans...
