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
