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,

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.
