Father, there's so much peace here at home But not enough out there Mother, there's so much love here at home Hardly any out there Father, we've so much grain in the barn Not even grass out there Mother, we've so much laughter and fun Not even tears out there Brother, there's so much comfort in here Not a roof out there Sister, it's so clean in here Only gutters out there They need me, I cannot hang on here I've got to get up and go He's calling, He's calling loud and clear He's standing right by the door Take me to Calcutta where they need me I want to make my life worth it's while Take me to Calcutta where they can use me And maybe I can make somebody smile Father, I need to go to their side To see His smile in their eyes Mother, I need to look inside To see Him through His disguise I know that you shall miss me at home Just as I shall miss you You know that wherever I may roam There's some things that I've just got to do Brother, I don't want to say goodbye To the farm where I have grown Sister, I just know I have to try And I have to do it alone I'm going, but don't you cry for me I'm not alone deep inside I'm leaving, but don't you sigh for me For He is here by my side Take me to Calcutta where they need me I wanna make my life worth it's while Take me to Calcutta where they can use me And maybe I can make somebody smile Oh why must you so far, my child Why must you go so far Why give up the comfort of your family Why must you go so far Suffering is almost a mania Right here in Albania If you want to help the poor Look no more You'll find as many as you need Right outside our door No one's driving a fancy car No one's eating caviar So you don't have to leave us and go so far You don't have to go so far far far far Father, what you say is true There's misery everywhere Mother, I agree with you There's hunger everywhere But there's poverty, and there is Poverty Oh there's a difference I'm sure Some are poor, and some are poorer But these are the poorest of the poor Whom the world does abhor Whom most rich folk ignore Please bless me and let me go All right then Go on to Calcutta my child We know you'll make your life worth its' while Go on to Calcutta where they can use you We know you're going to make somebody smile Oh thank you! Thank you my family! Thank you my Lord I'm going to Calcutta where they need me I'm going to make my life worth it's while I'm going to Calcutta where they can use me And maybe I can make somebody smile I'm going to Calcutta where they need me She's going I'm going to make my life worth it's while She's going I'm going to Calcutta where they can use me And maybe I can make somebody smile Goodbye, father Goodbye, mother Goodbye, brother Goodbye, sister Goodbye, Skopja
