Trivia, story behind the song, etc.

Songwriter

Words and music by Miriam Davidson and Kiya Heartwood (©2000 Outlaw Hill Publishing, BMI)

History

"To honor Miriam's grandparents and the thousands who came to America through Ellis Island."

"for all our family who passed through the three doors"

Lyrics

In a worn photograph
On the table in the hall
Proud and silent
A monument to all
They call my attention
It's the look in their eyes
They ask me to follow
Down the stairs and to the right

Three doors

Though the chalkmarks have faded
They still bear the signs
Of hunger and danger
Of standing in line
A white and blue prayer shawl
A black signet ring
The hopes that they carried
Was all they could bring

Three doors

A dream of America
A place to live free
To work hard and prosper
To change history

In a worn photograph on the table in the hall...
