What took me so long
I just realized my stumbing blocks were stepping stones

Those cotton fields i know
Now they're ain't no mind
Still our people

So i know that i'm late in coming jsut this far
When your spirit tell you who you are
Oh lord be your stars

What took me so long
I just realized my stumbing blocks were stepping stones

Casue only in my heart
I couldn't' stand to sing
Soak me so you can hear my melody
I'm gonna stand and shout
Oh yeah
I walked the world to see
Now i realize what took me so long
