America
AMERICA
(Words and music by Neil Diamond)

Far,
 we've been traveling 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 traveling 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.

1980 Stonebridge Music (ASCAP)

Personally, I prefer Me First and The Gimmee Gimmees storming punk version of this much better.
