[Verse 1: Liam & Niall]
Been a lot of places
I've been all around the world
Seen a lot of faces
Never knowing where I was
On the horizon, mm, but I know, I know, I know, I know
The sun will be rising back home
Living out of cases
Packing up and taking off
Made a lot of changes
But not forgetting who I was
On the horizon, ooh, well I know, I know, I know, I knowThe moon will be rising back home

[Chorus: All & Harry]
Don't forget where you belong, home
Don't forget where you belong, home
If you ever feel alone, don't
You were never on your own
And the proof is in this song

[Verse 2: Harry & Harry, Liam]
I've been away for ages
But I got everything I need
I'm flicking through the pages
I've written in my memory
I feel like I'm dreaming, oh, so I know, I know, I know, I know
That I'm never leaving, no, I won't go

[Chorus: All & Harry]
Don't forget where you belong, home
Don't forget where you belong, home
If you ever feel alone, don't
You were never on your own
And the proof is in this song

[Bridge: Louis & Zayn & All]
Lights off when they should be on
Even stars in the skies, they're wrong
Short days, when the nights are long
When I think of the things I've done
Don't matter how far I've gone
I'm always free to run home

[Chorus: All & Zayn & Liam & Niall]
Don't forget where you belong, home
Don't forget where you belong, home
Don't forget it
If you ever feel alone, don't
You were never on your own
Never, never, never
Don't forget where you belong, home
Don't forget where you belong, home
Don't forget it
If you ever feel alone, don't
You were never on your own
And the proof is in this song
Home
Don't forget it
Home, if you ever feel alone, don't
You were never on your own
You were never
And the proof is in this song
Never forget it, this song
Don't forget it
No I'll never forget it, this song
You were never

One Direction was an English-Irish pop band based in London, consisting of Niall Horan, Liam Payne, Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, and previously Zayn Malik. They signed with Simon Cowell’s record label Syco Records after being formed and finishing third in the seventh series of the British televised singing competition The X Factor in 2010. Check out their journey on the competition here.

Propelled to international success by the power of social media, their two albums Up All Night and Take Me Home, released in 2011 and 2012 respectively, broke several records, topped the charts of most major markets, and generated hit singles, including “What Makes You Beautiful” and “Live While We’re Young.”

Their third album, Midnight Memories, introduced a maturing sound. Singles including “Best Song Ever” and “Story of My Life” became smash hits. The music video for “Best Song Ever” even broke the one-day Vevo record, racking up 10.9 million views in 24 hours.
