America Lyrics

far, we've been traveling far without a home but not without a star free, only wanna 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 'em there they're coming to america got a dream they've come to share they're coming to america they're coming to america (4x) today (4x) (today) my country 'tis of thee (today) sweet land of liberty (today) of thee i sing (today) of thee i sing, yeah

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
