[Verse 1]
Empty sky open road, heaven is tumbling down
Here I am. There you are, waiting to take my hand
Hold me close I’ll be there, to take away all of your fears
It’s been so long since I knew, love and the way it should feel
Cause I know & I know & I know & I know…Yeah
Cause I know in my heart and I know in my soul
You’re the one that I need, yes I know
[Chorus]
Something keeps calling me, Calling me right back home
Hold me tight, I won’t fight. This is where I belong
Your heart keeps calling me, calling me right back home
Hold me tight I won’t fight. This is where I belong
Eyah……..
Eyah……
[Verse 2]
Hear the drums far away, its such a beautiful sound
Feel the wind on my face, don’t wanna loose what I’ve found
Cause I know & I know & I know & I know…Yeah
You’re the reason I’m running I’m fighting for something

[Chorus]
Something keeps calling me, Calling me right back home
Hold me tight, I won’t fight. This is where I belong
Your heart keeps calling me, calling me right back home
Hold me tight I won’t fight. This is where I belong
Eyah…
Eyah…

It's the rhythm of everything (Hey)
It's the rhythm of you, it's the rhythm of me
It's the rhythm of everything (Hey)
It's the rhythm of us, it's the rhythm of love
It's the rhythm of everything (Hey)
I'm coming home

Eyah (I’m coming home, I’m coming home, to you)
Eyah (I’m coming home, I’m coming home to you)
