[English]

No, I'll never find it on my own

'Cause this life ain't leading nowhere I can go

Standing still with nothing in my way

Let me go, so I could find myself again!

I need that

Ground beneath my feet

To feel that

Ground beneath my feet

I need that

Ground beneath my feet

To feel that

Ground beneath my feet

I need that

I need that

Home, I'm coming home I'm coming home

'Cause this life that I've been living ain't my own!

Home, I'm coming home I'm coming home

'Cause I'm tired being out here on my own!

I'm coming HOME

Oh yeah yeah yeah

I'm coming HOME

Oh yeah yeah yeah

All of this time I've been living it up

But all I've got left is rubble and dust

I'm coming home.

I know if I could find my own way back

There's a life I always knew, but never had

I'm tired of fighting things that I can't change

Let me go, so I can finally find my place!

I need that

Ground beneath my feet

To feel that

Ground beneath my feet

I need that

Ground beneath my feet

To feel that

Ground beneath my feet

I need that

I need that

Home, I'm coming home I'm coming home

'Cause this life that I've been living ain't my own!

Home, I'm coming home I'm coming home

'Cause I'm tired being out here on my own!

I'm coming HOME

Oh yeah yeah yeah

I'm coming HOME

Oh yeah yeah yeah

All of this time I've been living it up

But all I've got left is rubble and dust

I'm coming home.
