Bring It On Home Tonight

[Intro – horns hit, drums kick] (Lead 1 – spoken) Alright now… (Lead 2) We’re gonna take it back! --- [Verse 1 – Lead 1] I’ve been walking through the cold, cold night Looking for a sign, something to make it right Every step just took me further away Till I heard your voice say “don’t you stray” [Verse 1 – Lead 2] I was standing at the edge of the line Trying to hold on to a love gone blind But I felt something pulling me through Every road kept leading me back to you --- [Pre-Chorus – call & response] (Lead 1) You feel that fire? (Lead 2) Deep inside! (Backing) Feel it now! (Lead 2) You hear that calling? (Lead 1) Don’t you hide! (Backing) Let it out! --- [Chorus – duet] Bring it on home tonight Let the feeling burn so bright When the groove gets hold of you You know just what to do Bring it on home tonight Hold on tight and feel it right When the horns begin to play We’re gonna shout it all the way --- [Verse 2 – Lead 1] Every heartbeat’s got a story to tell Like a ringing freedom bell I was lost but now I see What your love done did for me [Verse 2 – Lead 2] Every time that rhythm starts to roll It’s like healing for the soul Ain’t no doubt, I testify Your love lifts me up so high --- [Chorus] --- [Break – crowd interaction] (Lead 1) Clap your hands now! (Lead 2) Come on, clap ‘em! (Backing) Clap ‘em now! (Lead 2) Let me hear you shout! (Lead 1) Say it loud! (Backing) Say it loud! (Horns riff) --- [Bridge – gospel lift, alternating lines] (Lead 1) When the world tries to bring you down (Lead 2) Don’t you let it turn you ‘round (Backing) Stand strong! (Lead 2) You got something deep inside (Lead 1) Something you can’t deny (Backing) Hold on! (Lead 1) Let the music lead the way (Lead 2) Bring you back to brighter days (Backing) Right now! --- [Instrumental Break – horns + groove] --- [Final Chorus – full energy] Bring it on home tonight Let the feeling burn so bright When the groove gets hold of you You know just what to do Bring it on home tonight Hold on tight and feel it right When the horns begin to play We’re gonna shout it all the way --- [Outro – ad libs] (Lead 1) Bring it on… bring it on… (Lead 2) Don’t you stop now… (Backing) Bring it on home tonight…
