[Verse 1: Melanie Blatt] I've crossed the deserts for miles Swam water for time Searching places to find A piece of something to call mine (I'm coming) A piece of something to call mine (I'm coming) (I'm coming) (Coming closer to you) Went along many moors Walked through many doors The place where I wanna be Is the place I can call mine (I'm coming) Is the place I can call mine (I'm coming) (I'm coming) Coming closer to you [Chorus: All (Shaznay Lewis)] I'm moving I'm coming Can you hear, what I hear It's calling you my dear Out of reach (Take me to my beach) I can hear it, calling you I'm coming not drowning Swimming closer to you [Verse 2: Melanie Blatt] Never been here before I'm intrigued, I'm unsure I'm searching for more I've got something thats all mine I've got something thats all mine Take me somewhere I can breathe I've got so much to see This is where I want to be In a place I can call mine In a place I can call mine [Chorus: All (Shaznay Lewis)] I'm moving I'm coming Can you hear, what I hear It's calling you my dear Out of reach (Take me to my beach) I can hear it, calling you I'm coming not drowning Swimming closer to you Moving, coming Can you hear what I hear? (Hear it out of reach) I hear it calling you Swimming closer to you [Verse 3: Shaznay Lewis] Many faces I have seen Many places I have been Walked the deserts, swam the shores (Coming closer to you) Many faces I have known Many way in which I've grown Moving closer on my own (Coming closer to you) [Bridge: Shaznay Lewis] I move it I feel it I'm coming Not drowning I move it I feel it I'm coming Not drowning [Chorus: All (Shaznay Lewis)] I'm moving I'm coming Can you hear, what I hear It's calling you my dear Out of reach (Take me to my beach) I can hear it, calling you I'm coming not drowning Swimming closer to you Moving, coming Can you hear what I hear? (Hear it out of reach) I hear it calling you Swimming closer to you
