We All Are Immigrants 

Tune: We Gather Together

Lyrics by JoaniG and the Piedmont Raging Grannies

Date written:  January 26, 2026

We gather together to speak in this moment

Of reasons for coming to this great coun-try

What we have in common 

Is that we all are immigrants

Who sought a better li-fe for our fam-il-ies.

My family was forced to flee poverty and famine

My family was forced to flee pogroms and hate

My family sought refuge from po-li-ti-cal oppression

We sought a better li-fe for our families

Your story is my story ad infinitum

We cannot deny our own hi-is-tory

We’re all in this melting pot

Whe-ther we like it or not

What we have in common’s

more than what divides 

Their goal’s to divide us, so they will have power

Their goal’s to divide us, so they will have wealth

Remember our story

We all are immigrants

Who sought a better li-fe for our fam-il-ies.
