Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Far, we've been traveling far
Without a home, but not without a star
Free, only want to be free
We huddle close, hang on to a dream
[Verse 2]
On the boats and on the planes
They're coming to America
Never looking back again
They're coming to America
[Verse 3]
Home, don't it seem so far away?
Oh, we're traveling light today
In the eye of the storm
In the eye of the storm
Home, to a new and a shiny place
Make our bed, and we'll say our grace
Freedom's light burning warm
Freedom's light burning warm
[Verse 4]
Everywhere around the world
They're coming to America
Every time that flag's unfurled
They're coming to America
[Verse 5]
Got a dream to take 'em there
They're coming to America
Got a dream they've come to share
They're coming to America
[Verse 6]
They're coming to America
They're coming to America
They're coming to America
They're coming to America
Today, today, today, today, today
[Verse 7]
My country 'tis of thee
(Today) Sweet land of liberty
(Today) Of thee I sing
(Today) Of thee I sing
Today, today, today, today, today, today
