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
