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
