Lyrics
They came from places far away and somehow met in New York
A Jewish boy born in Paris, a beauty from Ecuador
The boy's parents were survivors, living through the holocaust
The first boy a Siberian, freed by the Russian force
Leaving that place in search of opportunity
Carrying on with a new nationality
A Spanish man, a Chinese girl, grew up along the shore
A coastal town of Guayaquil, where they raised six more
They saved their money until the day they sailed across the pond
Then greeted by Miss Liberty, they all became American
They brought their culture, identified
Different were the ways that they knew
They held their heads up high, they waived their flags
The banner of the red white and blue
Leaving that place in search of opportunity
Yeah, carrying on with a new nationality
They were leaving their places, was home for generations
Assimilation, becoming new Americans
Leaving their places was home for generations
Becoming new Americans
Becoming new Americans
Leaving that place, was home for generations
Assimilation, becoming new Americans
Splendid dreams of prosperity elevating a need to go
All the future generations, Americans they could become
The new patriots, to live and die for the pride in the flag we waive
For the allegiance, the beauty of
Life in the USA
