Lyrics

Coming To America

[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

[Chorus 1]

On the boats and on the planes

They're coming to America

Never looking back again

They're coming to America

[Verse 2]

Home, don't it seem far away?

We're traveling light today

In the eye of the storm

In the eye of the storm

[Verse 3]

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

[Chorus 2]

Everywhere around the world

They're coming to America

Every time that flag's unfurled

They're coming to America

[Chorus 3]

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

[Refrain]

They're coming to America

They're coming to America

They're coming to America

They're coming to America

[Outro]

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!
