Immigrant Lyrics by Sade

The Ultimate Collection

2000

[Verse 1]
Coming from where he did
He was turned away from every door like Joseph

[Chorus]
To even the toughest among us that would be too much

[Verse 2]
He didn't know what it was to be black
'Til they gave him his change
But didn't want to touch his hand

[Chorus]
To even the toughest among us don't you know that would be too much

[Post-Chorus]
Isn't it just enough
How hard it is to live
Isn't it hard enough
Just to make it through a day

[Bridge]
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 cuffs a little frayed
Coming from where he did
He was such a dignified child

[Chorus]
To even the toughest among us don't you know that would be too much

[Post-Chorus]
Isn't it just enough
How hard it is to live
Isn't it hard enough
Just to make it through a day

[Verse 1]
Coming from where he did
He was turned away from every door like Joseph

[Chorus]
To even the toughest among us don't you know that would be too much

[Verse 2]
He didn't know what it was to be black
'Til they gave him his change
But didn't want to touch his hand

[Chorus]
To even the toughest among us that would be too much
