Between the worst day
Of the year at the airports
And the worst day
Of the year at the malls
There's a quiet Thursday
In the middle
That somehow causes us all

To head out to the highway
Or into the friendly skies
'Cause something about this season
Makes us long for family ties

And it's calling all hearts
Across the miles
Calling all hearts
To familiar smiles
That mean so much
And we get there
Somehow, some way
It's calling all hearts
Home for the holiday

It's no surprise
The grocery stores are crowded
With frantic people
Who are on the run
Funny how we get in such a hurry
To slow down and enjoy the fun
But now the college dorms are empty
And the factories are closing down
Whether we cross over state lines
Or just go across town

Something's calling all hearts
Across the miles
Calling all hearts
To familiar smiles
That mean so much
And we get there
Somehow, some way
It's calling all hearts
Home for the holiday

It's a journey of the heart
And a pilgrimage to the place
That's a reminder of our blessings
A reminder of God's grace

It's calling all hearts
Across the miles
Calling all hearts
To familiar smiles
That mean so much
And we get there
Somehow, some way
It's calling all hearts
Home for the holiday
Calling all hearts
Across the miles
Calling all hearts
To familiar smiles
That mean so much
And we get there
Somehow, some way
It's calling all hearts
Home for the holiday...
