miami

they saw the lights on the horizon

out of the seas it came shinin'

the buildings so high

they seemed to touch the sky

miami

oh

miami

they felt the warm breezes blowing

from off the strange new ocean

they reached the end safe

it was a new day

miami

oh

miami

oh

it must've seemed

something from a dream

shinin' through the night

all those city lights

staring at the shore

hungry

tired and worn

could it really be

were they really free

and so they came

a hundred thousand

to find a way of life

they could believe in

far away from home

with nothing of their own

to miami

oh miami

they saw the lights

miami
