Long Way Home Songtext
von Steven Curtis Chapman

And a one, two, a one, two, three

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 have 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 gonna make it
And, I know we're gonna get there soon
And I know sometimes it feels like we are going the wrong way
But it's just a long way home

I got some rocks in my shoes, fears I wish I can lose
It makes 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 have beens, and not yets
I keep on dragging around
And I can hardly wait for the day I get to lay it all down

But I know that day is coming
But I know is going to be here soon
And I won′t turn back, even if the world says I'm going the wrong way
′Cause it's just a long way home

When we can′t take another step
Our father will pick us up and carry us in his arms
And even on the best days, he says to remember we aren't home yet
So don′t get too comfortable
Because really all we are is just pilgrims passing through

Hey, hey, yeah, well I know we are gonna make it
And I know we are gonna to be there soon
So I'll keep on singing and believing what all of my songs say
Because our God has made a promise
And I know that everything He says is true
And I know where ever we go he will never ever leave us
'Cause he is gonna lead us home
Every single step of the long way


Keep on, we are gonna make it
I know we are gonna make it
We′re just taking the long way home
(Keep on, we are gonna make it) yeah, yeah, yeah
I know we are gonna make it
We′re just taking the long way home

Keep on, we are gonna make it
I know we are gonna make it
(We're just taking the long way home) taking the long way home
Keep on, we are gonna make it
I know we are gonna make it
Ooh, It′s just the long way home
