| I set out on a great adventure
|
| The day my Father started leading me home
|
| He said there’s gonna be some mountains to climb
|
| And some valleys we’re gonna go through
|
| But I had no way of knowing
|
| Just how hard this journey could be
|
| Cause the valleys are deeper
|
| And the mountains are steeper than I ever would have dreamed
|
| But I know we’re gonna make it
|
| And I know we’re gonna get there soon
|
| And I know sometimes it feels like we’re going the wrong way
|
| But its just the long way home
|
| I got some rocks in my shoes
|
| Fears I wish I could lose
|
| That make the mountains so hard to climb
|
| And my heart gets so heavy with the weight of the world sometimes
|
| There’s a bag of regrets
|
| My should’ve beens, and not yets
|
| I keep on dragging around
|
| And I can hardly wait for the day I get to lay it all down
|
| But I know that day is coming
|
| I know its gonna be here soon
|
| And I won’t turn back even if the whole world says I’m going the wrong way
|
| Cause its just the long way home
|
| When we can’t take another step
|
| Our Father will pick us up and carry us in His arms
|
| And even on the best days, He says to remember we’re not home yet
|
| So don’t get too comfortable
|
| Cause really all we are is just pilgrims passing through
|
| (Heeey yeah)
|
| Well, I know we’re gonna make it
|
| And I know we’re gonna get there soon
|
| So I keep on singing and believing
|
| What all of my songs say
|
| Cause our God has made a promise
|
| And I know that everything He says is true
|
| And I know wherever we go
|
| He will never leave us
|
| Cause He’s gonna lead us home (Aaaaah)
|
| Every single step of the long way home
|
| (Keep going, we’re gonna make it)
|
| (I know, we’re gonna make it)
|
| (We're just taking the long way home)
|
| (Keep going, we’re gonna make it)(yeaaah)
|
| (I know, we’re gonna make it)
|
| (We're just taking the long way home)
|
| (Keep going, we’re gonna make it)(ooooh)
|
| (I know, we’re gonna make it) (ooooh)
|
| (We're just taking the long way home)
|
| Taking the long way home
|
| (Keep going, we’re gonna make it)
|
| (I know, we’re gonna make it)
|
| It’s just a long way home |
