Do You Feel Lucky?

Name That Tune #22!

"A great distance we have been moving across
Bereft of a thing with feathers, but not lacking a celestial body
Liberty, that's what we crave
We're all bunched up keeping hold of a vision.

Employing various conveyances,
Journeying to this country
Without sparing a glance behind
Journeying to this country

Our proper place - how distant it feels
Our burdens and supplies are low
like the calm part in the middle of the hurricane
like the calm part in the middle of the hurricane
Our proper place - not the old one but a gleaming one
We'll arrange our nighttime furniture,
cast our benedictions over the meals
the lamp of liberty gives both light and heat
the lamp of liberty gives both light and heat

All over the globe
Journeying to this country
Each time the grand ol' banner is flappin in the breeze
Journeying to this country
there's a vision they have, to convey them to that destination
Journeying to this country
there's a vision they have, that they'd like to spread around
Journeying to this country

Journeying to this country
Journeying to this country
Journeying to this country
Journeying to this country

On this day
On this day
On this day
On this day
On this day

America, it's of you
Pleasant-tasting property of freedom
this song's for you
this song's for you
On this day"
