Lyrics
FarWe’ve been traveling farWithout a homeBut not without a starFreeOnly want to be freeWe huddle closeHang on to a dreamOn the boats and on the planesThey’re coming to AmericaNever looking back againThey’re coming to AmericaHomeDon’t it seem so far awayOh, we’re traveling light todayIn the eye of the stormIn the eye of the stormHomeTo a new and a shiny placeMake our bed and we’ll say our graceFreedom’s light burning warmFreedom’s light burning warmEverywhere around the worldThey’re coming to AmericaEvery time that flag’s unfurledThey’re coming to AmericaGot a dream to take them thereThey’re coming to AmericaGot a dream they’ve come to shareThey’re coming to AmericaThey’re coming to AmericaThey’re coming to AmericaThey’re coming to AmericaThey’re coming to AmericaToday, todayToday, today, todayMy country ’tis of thee (today)Sweet land of liberty (today)Of thee I sing (today)Of thee I singToday, today, todayToday, today, (today, today)
