I Will Come Home

Letra

[Intro] [Male lead] I carry the morning in the palms of my hands A promise I made that you would understand [Verse 1] [Male lead] I crossed every border with your name in my chest Found a little courage and gave you the rest When the road turns narrow, I remember your face You make a home for me in every place [Pre-Chorus] [Male lead] If I lose my way, call me back If the world gets loud, stay on the track [Chorus] [Male lead] I will come home, I will come home No matter how far these roads may roam I will come home, I will come home You are the truth my heart has known [Background vocals: Female, soft and melodic] Je suis là, je suis là Mon amour, ne t’éloigne pas [Verse 2] [Male lead] There is a light in the kitchen when the evening settles down Your laughter turns the silence into something safe and sound I don’t need a map now, I know where I belong Every step toward you feels like the ending of a long song [Pre-Chorus] [Male lead] If I lose my way, call me back If the world gets loud, stay on the track [Short female reveal chorus] [Female lead, Cameroonian Francophone, warm intimate melodic delivery] Je t’attends, mon cœur, reviens près de moi Dans mes yeux, tu verras tout ce que je ne dis pas Je t’attends, mon cœur, la nuit passera Prends ma main, mon amour, et ne me quitte pas [Chorus] [Male lead with female harmonies] I will come home, I will come home No matter how far these roads may roam I will come home, I will come home You are the truth my heart has known [Female background vocals] Rentre à la maison, je suis là Mon amour, ne t’éloigne pas [Bridge] [Male lead] I have counted every mile between us Still your voice is the rhythm that leads us [Female response] Je te reconnais, même dans le silence Garde-moi tout près, donne-moi ta confiance [Final female chorus] [Female lead, fuller and still natural] Rentre à la maison, mon amour, reviens J’ai gardé pour toi la chaleur de mes mains Rentre à la maison, je connais ton chemin Dans mon cœur, dans ma vie, tu seras toujours bien [Male lead and female harmonies] I will come home, I will come home No matter how far these roads may roam [Female outro] [Female lead, intimate fading refrain] Je suis là, mon amour, je suis là Rentre à la maison, ne t’éloigne pas Je suis là, mon amour, je suis là
