Lyrics

VERSE 1
We left our home while it was burning
Gunfire screaming through the night
It was the only place I've ever known
And it was gone by morning light
We sailed across the western ocean
There stood a statue in the sea
CHORUS 1
We've come a long way, we yearn to breathe free
We hope that you will understand
VERSE 2
We spent our nights in a small apartment
They knew what we were running from
And build a home where the air was clean
CHORUS 2
We've come a long way, we yearn to breathe free
We hope that you will understand
VERSE 3
Sometimes I wake up in a cold sweat
Soldiers marching through my mind
Seems I always have to tell myself
That world is gone, it's far behind
We made a life here in this country
This world is all you've ever known
CHORUS 3
We've come a long way, we yearn to breathe free
We hope that you will understand
