Lyrics:
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
Ev’ry 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
Stand up for America
Stand up for America
Stand up for America
Stand up for America
Today – yes
Today – yes
Today – yes
Today – yes (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, today, today

God bless the legal immigrants who crossed oceans, fled tyrannies to come to America to build their dreams! Not to change her, but to embrace her! God bless America!
