Calling Lyrics by Tony Allen

HomeCooking

0

[Chorus]
From a distance calling
I hear a song, calling me
From the motherland
Somewhere deep inside me
Something so strong
Calling me from the motherland

[Verse 1]
I've journeyed from a land [?]
Still, I know where I'm coming from
I feel it flowing through my veins, then I let go
Of [?] chains
Yes, I let go of [?] chains
But my spirit, spirit remains the same
Calling, calling me
I hear you calling, calling me

[Chorus]
From a distance calling
I hear a song, calling me
From the motherland
Somewhere deep inside me
Something so strong
Calling me from the motherland

[Verse 2]
It is written here, upon my face
You know, my history can't be erased
Much deeper than the skin I wear
Much deeper than the scars I bear
Always much deeper than the scars I bear
Always much deeper than the clothes I wear
Calling, calling me
I hear you calling, calling me

[Chorus]
From a distance calling
I hear a song, calling me
From the motherland
Somewhere deep inside me
Something so strong
Calling me from the motherland

[Bridge]
I hear you calling, calling out my name
I hear you calling, I hear you calling
I know, yeah, I know

[Chorus]
From a distance calling
I hear a song, calling me
From the motherland
Somewhere deep inside me
Something so strong
Calling me from the motherland

From a distance calling
I hear a song, calling me
From the motherland
Somewhere deep inside me
Something so strong
Calling me from the motherland
