Yeah Oh Been around the world Been around the world Seen the seas seven sailed across them all Seen the moon rise over Paris and I watched her gently fall On to the beat Keep moving never stopping Though sometimes I feel like dropping gotta keep on and be strong avoid the wrong Cos in this life you walk alone Through the danger zone until you get home Been around the world, but there's no place like home Oh baby Been around the world, but there's no place like home Oh baby Take me home where my soul belongs Been above the clouds that paint the sky Stood below the cosmos and I pondered on a way Back to the track in fact I'm breaking Through I never knew that you would Turn and walk away to stay And leave me standing on my own Far from me Like a nomad Sad bad Dreams about togetherness that we never had Been around the world, but there's no place like home Oh baby (gotta keep on and be strong) Been around the world, but there's no place like home (until you get home) Oh baby Take me home where my soul belongs Shout to the north to the south to the east to the west To the home I love best where my soul can rest Yes Been around the world, but there's no place like home Oh baby (to the home I love best) Been around the world, but there's no place like home (gotta be strong and keep on) Oh baby (where my soul can rest) Been around the world, but there's no place like home Oh baby (to the home I love best) Been around the world, but there's no place like home (gotta be strong and keep on) Oh baby (where my soul can rest) Been around the world Yeah (to the home I love best) Been around the world Yeah (to the home I love best) Been around the world, but there's no place like home (gotta be strong and keep on) Oh baby (where my soul can rest) Been around the world, but there's no place like home Oh baby
