[father, spoken]
it’s an honor to go on expedition with you, admiral peary
it’s men like you who have made this country great

what’s that in the distance?
such a ghostly glow

[admiral peary, spoken]
they’re called rag ships
immigrants from every cesspool in western and eastern europe

[father, spoken]
you’re a brave man, whoever you are
coming so far, expecting so much

[father]
a salute to the man on the deck of that ship
a salute to the immigrant stranger
heaven knows why you’d make such a terrible trip
may your own god protect you from danger

is it freedom or love that you pray for in your guttural accеnt?
too late, long gone
a salute to a fеllow who hasn’t a chance
journey on
[little girl, spoken]
is that other ship going back home?

[tateh, spoken]
no, no, america is our home now
america is our shtetl

[tateh & little girl, spoken]
amekhaye khlebn

[little girl, spoken]
look, someone is waving
where is he going?

[tateh, spoken]
he’s a fool on a fool’s journey

[tateh]
you depart on a ship from a country like this
why on earth would you want to be leaving?
was it something you lost that you suddenly miss?
are you angry or possibly grieving?
do you see in my face what you’ve lost, sir?
are you moved by the death ship we sail upon?
well, perhaps you’re a man who’s in search of his heart
journey on
[father]
journey on

[tateh & father]
two ships passing
in the kinship of the darkness—

[father]
one going from—

[tateh]
one coming to—

[father & tateh]
—america

two men meeting
at the moment of a journey
for a moment in the darkness
we’re the same

[mother]
and what of the people whose boundaries chafe?

[father]
i salute you, my friend
[mother]
who marry so bravely and end up so safe?

[tateh]
may you find what you need

[mother]
i will be journeying here, my love

[mother, father & tateh]
as you go

[mother]
journeying

[tateh]
journeying

[father]
journeying

[mother, father & tateh]
on the sea
we’re two ships passing
at a distance through the darkness

[father]
one going from—

[mother & tateh]
one coming to—

[mother, father & tateh]
—america
strangers sharing
the beginnings of a journey

[father]
i salute you

[tateh]
god be with you

[mother]
i will miss you

[mother, father & tateh]
in the darkness of the dawn
journey on
