I set out on a great adventure
|
The day my father started leading me home
|
He said there 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 of dream
|
|
But I know we¡¯re gonna make it
|
And I know we¡¯re gonna get there soon
|
And I know some times it feels like we¡¦¡¦
|
Going the wrong way
|
But it¡¯s just a long way home
|
|
Some rocks in my shoes fears I wish I could lose
|
They make the mountain so hard to climb
|
And my heart gets so heavy
|
With the weight of the world some times
|
And there¡¯s a bag of regrets
|
My should have beens and not yets
|
I keep on dragging around
|
And I can hardly can wait for the day I get to lay them all down
|
Well I know that day is coming
|
And I know it¡¯s gonna be here soon
|
And I won¡¯t turn back even if the whole world
|
Says I¡¯m going the wrong way
|
Cause it¡¯s just a long way home
|
|
And when we can¡¯t take another step
|
The 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
|
|
Well I know we¡¯re gonna make it
|
And I know it¡¯s gonna be here soon
|
I¡¯ll 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
|
Every single step of the long way home
|
So keep on we¡¯re gonna make it
|
We¡¯re just taking the long way home
|
Keep on we¡¯re gonna make it
|
I know we¡¯re gonna make it
|
It¡¯s just a long way home
|
