Why Does it Take So Long? Songtext
Why does it take so long for me*
To know who I want to be
Am I missing something here?
I′ve been an orphan down and out
And a king with a calloused heart
But who am I supposed to be
[Chorus:]
I've carried this cross
I′ve been lost and lonely
I had to walk this world to see
That you are where I want to be
And why does it take so long
To find my way home
Why can't I just let it go
I've been fighting with my own soul
It′s a fight I′m losing
But something's gonna turn around
I′m on the ropes but don't count me out yet
No don′t count me out
[Bridge:]
Am I looking for a sign
Looking for something written in the sky
To show me how
To get what's in my heart to my head now
[Chorus 2:]
You carried the cross
For the lost and lonely
You had to walk this world so I could see
That you are where I want to be
Why did it take so long?
(You were here all along)
Why did it take so long?
(Even when I was wrong)
To find my way home
To know who I want to be
Am I missing something here?
I′ve been an orphan down and out
And a king with a calloused heart
But who am I supposed to be
[Chorus:]
I've carried this cross
I′ve been lost and lonely
I had to walk this world to see
That you are where I want to be
And why does it take so long
To find my way home
Why can't I just let it go
I've been fighting with my own soul
It′s a fight I′m losing
But something's gonna turn around
I′m on the ropes but don't count me out yet
No don′t count me out
[Bridge:]
Am I looking for a sign
Looking for something written in the sky
To show me how
To get what's in my heart to my head now
[Chorus 2:]
You carried the cross
For the lost and lonely
You had to walk this world so I could see
That you are where I want to be
Why did it take so long?
(You were here all along)
Why did it take so long?
(Even when I was wrong)
To find my way home
