America Lyrics
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
They're coming to America
Never looking back again
They're coming to America
Oh, we're traveling light today
In the eye of the storm
In the eye of the storm
Make our bed, and we'll say our grace
Freedom's light burning warm
Freedom's light burning warm
They're coming to America
Every time that flag's unfurled
They're coming to America
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
Today, today, today, today, today
Today
Sweet land of liberty
Today
Of thee I sing
Today
Of thee I sing
Today
This should replace the Star Spangled Banner as the National Anthem. Doesn't this song just make you wanna raise your fist in the air and yell out "AMERICA!!"
jesus what a kickass song i dont believe that no ones posted on a comment on this one.. neil diamond kicks ass
i still remember the movie, it was so underrated. I came to the US from mexico and every damn time i hear this song it just makes me smile cus its so true.
This song gives me chills. It really shows the importance of America And the overwhelming joy of Coming to America
About one of the defining characteristics of this country and what makes it so special. That still, to this day, people around the world see it as the promised land.
This song is so awesome, AMERICA!!!
I agree with you lisap86, this song fills American hearts with patriotic pride. I wish Reagan had used this song as his 1984 re-election campaign theme. No other song-not even the national anthem-encapsulates the ideals that American was founded on.
im from Canada, and i must say im jealous this song rocks!
atralis, i dont know where you got that from but you shouldnt be saying that. he himself is the son of polish and russian immigrants and he IS NOT an immigrant hater. be careful with what you say next time...
Surely a song directed to the mass incoming of immigrants looking for some fortune and fame in America.
midnight_listener: besides the native Indians, who's "really" American?
i think that only people who are not originally from america hang on to that term and strive to become it - just like a dream because being "american" in the popular sense is something that does not exist, just like the american dream. ive never known if neil diamond was being cynical in this song, like bruce springsteen or simon and garfunkel, or is he was honest about what he was saying...
