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 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 A fire at night lighting the shadows Moving along little by little Thought I heard You say We're taking the long way home 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 Caught a vision of the future Laughing out loud while we pray for better days 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 A 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 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 Been a long time coming Been a long time coming 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 A 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 It's been a long time coming
