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
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


Song by Neil Diamond Performed by Grade 3

This land is your land
This land is my land

from California to the New York Island
From the Red Wood forest
to the Gulf Stream waters
this land was made for you and me.

The colonists weren't allowed to serve as part of England's nation. They argued, Why should we be taxed without representation?

"Tax their tea!" Great Britain ruled. "No!" a plea came hearty. The angry colonists dumped their tea. At the big Boston Tea Party.

Yankee Doodle went to town, riding on a pony.
Stuck a feather in his hat and called it macaroni.

I love my country.
I love my freedom.
I love my flag and Independence Day
I am a citizen.
I have equality.
I love my country, the U.S.A.
(after 2nd time)
I love my country, the U.S.A
U.S.A
