I say farewell, the final call
I turn and walk away, I leave it all
I find that life regains its glow
But the journey’s long, the going’s slow
A million miles later
I crave a love that’s greater
Take me home again, ah…
Kthema Zot
Kthema mallin që më more
Kur më nise large, ah…
Kthema Zot
Vetëm loti thyen gurin
Që e hodha pas
Të lutem kthema Zot
Ti kthema lotin që më more
Kur më nise large
Ah…
Ah…
Hear my plea
Take the longing of my heartbeat
Make the melody
Hear my plea
As it quivers in the tear drops
That you shed for me
I beg you, hear my plea
Take the longing of my heartbeat
For eternity
I beg you, hear my plea
The pain, the suffering of today
Tomorrow’s memory
Ah…
I say farewell, the final call
I turn and walk away, I leave it all
I find that life regains its glow
But the journey’s long, the going’s slow
A million miles later
I crave a love that’s greater
Take me home again, ah…
Bring me God
Bring me the nostalgia that you took from me
When you sent me away, ah…
Bring me God
Only the tears can break the rock
That I left behind
Please bring me God
Bring me the tears that you took from me
When you sent me away
Ah…
Ah…
Hear my plea
Take the longing of my heartbeat
Make the melody
Hear my plea
As it quivers in the tear drops
That you shed for me
I beg you, hear my plea
Take the longing of my heartbeat
For eternity
I beg you, hear my plea
The pain, the suffering of today
Tomorrow’s memory
Ah…
