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
