Long Way Home

(Album: Act Justly, Love Mercy, Walk Humbly - 2021)

Got a fighting chance
And the landscape looks familiar
But I'm looking for a place I've never seen

And I've made mistakes
And I know I'm only human
And no one gets it right without a wrong

And I'm on my way walking in circles
A cloud by day leading me onward
Thought I heard You say
We're taking the long way home
Taking the long way
A fire at night lighting the shadows
Moving along little by little
Thought I heard You say
We're taking the long way home

Oh, I've played my hand
And they say it's all a gamble
But I'd rather lose than know I've never tried

Look how far we've come
Caught a vision of the future
Laughing out loud while we pray for better days

And I'm on my way walking in circles
A cloud by day leading me onward
Thought I heard You say
We're taking the long way home
Taking the long way
A fire at night lighting the shadows
Moving along little by little
Thought I heard You say
We're taking the long way home
Taking the long way

It's two steps forward and one step back
It's a past regret and a second chance
It's yelling at the sky while He says it's worth the wait
I hope it's worth the wait

Been a long time coming
Been a long time coming

Oh, and I'm on my way walking in circles
A cloud by day leading me onward
Thought I heard You say
We're taking the long way home
Taking the long way
A fire at night lighting the shadows
Moving along little by little
Thought I heard You say
We're taking the long way home
We're taking the long way home

It's been a long time coming
