Lyrics

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,

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 (C)trav el (G)ing (D)light to day,

in the eye of (Em)the storm,

in the (G)eye of (F)the (Em)storm.

Home

to a new and (D)a shin y place.

Make our (C)bed, and (G)we’ll say our grace,

free dom’s light burn (Em)ing (F)warm,

free dom’s (G)light burn (F)ing (Em)warm.

Ev ’ry where a round the world,

they’re com ing to A mer i ca.

Ev ’ry time that flag’s un furled,

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.

To day,

to day.

To day,

to day.
