She was so young when she took the street
Born too late in the midday heat
Her parents said: "She went to America"
She wasted days and she wasted nights
Ev'rybody's girl nobody's child
Her mother said: "She went to America"
Another day and another time
Heav'n is so hard to find
Sarah said: "Hello America"
I don't care where I sleep tonight
I don't care if I'm right
I like to dance catch the wind
When Sarah smiles her eyes shine in blue
I know she's smilin' straight from her heart
When Sarah smiles it means heaven too
I know her heart is breakin' apart
When Sarah smiles
She was so young when she left her home
Packed the things like a rolling stone
Rocky said: "She went to America"
She cried some tears she said goodbye
Wants to go where the eagle fly
Her mother said: "She went to America"
She was alone in a lonely world
She made it right she made it good
Sarah said: "Hello America"
I like to see ocean in the sky
Don't stop me when I try
I like to dance catch the wind
