Far,
we’ve been trav el ing far,
with out a home,
but not with out a star.
Free,
on ly want to be free.
We hud dle close,
and hang on to a dream.
On the boats and on the planes,
they’re com ing to A mer i ca.
Nev er look ing back a gain,
they’re com ing to A mer i ca.
(Em)Home,
don’t it seem (D)so (G)far a way.
Oh, we’re trav el ing (D)light to day,
in the eye of (Em)the (F)storm,
in the (G)eye of the (Em)storm.
Home,
to a new and (D)a (G)shin y place.
Make our bed, and we’ll (D)say our grace,
free dom’s light burn (Em)ing (F)warm,
free dom’s (G)light burn ing (Em)warm.
Ev ’ry where a round the world,
they’re com ing to A mer i ca.
Nev er look ing back a gain,
they’re com ing to A mer i ca.
Got a dream to take them there.
They’re com ing to A mer i ca.
Got a dream, they’ve come to share.
They’re com ing to A mer i ca.
They’re com ing to A mer i ca.
They’re com ing to A mer i ca.
They’re com ing to A mer i ca.
They’re com ing to A mer i ca to day,
to day,
to day,
to day,
to day.
My coun try ’tis of thee (to day), sweet land of lib er ty (to day), of thee I sing
(to day), of thee I sing
to day.
