Long Way Home

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 them all down

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

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 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

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)

(I know, we're gonna make it)

(We're just taking 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)

(I know, we're gonna make it)

It's just a long way home
