Lyrics :
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
On the boats and on the planes
We're coming to America
Never looking back again
We're coming to America
Home, don't it seem so far away
We're traveling light today
In the eye of a storm
In the eye of a 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
Everywhere around the world
They're coming to America
Every time that flag's unfurled
They're coming to America
Got a dream to take them there
They're coming to America
Got a dream they've come to share
They're coming to America
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) My country 'tis of thee
(Today) Sweet land of liberty
(Today) Of thee I sing
(Today) Of thee I sing, yeah
