To be sung in your best Neil Diamond voice:
Far
We've been travelling far
Without a home
But not without a star
Free
Only want to be free
We huddle close
Hang on to a dream
On the boats and on the planes
They're coming to America
Never looking back again
They're coming to America
Home, don't it seem so far away
Oh, we're travelling light today
In the eye of the storm
In the eye of the storm
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
Everywhere around the world
They're coming to America
Every time that flag's unfurled
They're coming to America
Got a dream to take them there
They're coming to America
Got a dream they've come to share
They're coming to America
They're coming to America
They're coming to America
They're coming to America
They're coming to America
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
(today)
(today)
(today)
(today)
America, here we come!
Good luck on your flight.
ReplyDeleteOhhh my gosh. This song is the BEST. Totally busted up. I especially liked "Home, to a new and a shiny place" Oh Neil. Shiny indeed.
ReplyDeleteYou know what i heard the other day? God Bless the USA and then thought of you when that part came: "From New York to LA..." We should sing that to ourselves when we miss each other and are feeling patriotic at the same time which, i don't know about you, but happens to me often.
so, you guys got a place to live?
ReplyDeleteI hope it all goes smoothy (oops, I mean smoothly)
I'll email you when you are settled if you want to hang out.
