Verse 1

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

Chorus 1

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

Chorus 2

A fire at night
Lighting the shadows
Moving along little by little
Thought I heard You say
We're taking the long way home

Verse 2

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

Chorus 1

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

Chorus 2

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

Bridge

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

Refrain

Been a long time coming
Been a long time coming

Chorus 1

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

Chorus 2

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
