My home in love is calling me, calling, calling
Home where I am safe, where I am free
Where I am strong, where I can be myself
While loving you

Verse 2
Looking around me I see people to the left
I see people to the right, we’re walking together
People ahead of me as far as I can see, people behind me
We’re walking home, home, where we see with eyes of love
