[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
Hey!

[Chorus]
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
Fire at night, lighting the shadows
Moving along, little by little
Then I heard You say
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
Color vision of the future
Laughing out loud while we pray for better days
[Chorus]
Then 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
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]
Oh, 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
Fire at night, lighting the shadows
Moving along, little by little
Thought I heard You say
We're taking the long way home
We're taking the long way home
[Outro]
It's been a long time coming
