I set out on a great adventure

The day my Father started leading me home

Said theres gonna be mountians to climb

And valleys were gonna go through



But I had no way of knowing

Just how hard this journey could be

Cause the mountians are steeper

And the valleys are deeper than I ever would had dreamed



But I know were gonna make it

And I know were gonna get there soon

And I know sometimes it seems like, were going the wrong way

But its just the long way home



Some rocks on my shoes

Fears I wish I could lose

That make the mountians so hard to climb

And my heart gets so heavy with the weight of the world sometimes



There's a bag of regrets,

Should've beens, and not yets

That keep on dragging around

And I can hardly wait till the day I get to lay them all down



I know that day is coming

I know its gonna be here soon

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 cant 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 were not home yet

So don't get too comfortable

Cause we are just pilgrams passing through



I know that day is coming

I know were gonna be there soon

I keep on singing and believing

What all of my songs say



Cause our God has made a promise

And I know everything He says is true

He promised He would never ever leave us

He's gonna lead us

He'll lead us home



Every single step of the long way home

So keep on, were gonna make it

Were just taking the long way home

So keep on, were gonna make it

I know, were gonna make it

Its just the long way home
