Seizing the American Dream

Palermo
Loading ships
Hid
Past Gibraltar
Knocked on the captain’s cabin
I’m Andrea Giuliano and I want to go to America
They played chess
Talked of hopes and dreams
Docked in New York
Streets paved with gold
Cover of night
Over the side
Sold fruit in Brooklyn
Sent for Maria
Started a family
Never became a citizen
Proud legacy
