I set out on a great adventure
The day my father started leading me home
He said there gonna be some mountains to climb
And some valleys we're gonna go thorough

But I had 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've dreamed

But I know we're gonna make it
And I know we're gonna get there soon
And I know some times it feels like we're
Going the wrong way
But it's just a long way home

Some rocks in my shoes, fears I wish I could lose
They make the mountain so hard to climb
And my heart gets so heavy
With the weight of the world sometimes

And there's a bag of regrets
I should have been and not yets
I keep on dragging around
And I can hardly can wait for the day I get to lay it all down

Well I know that day is coming
And I know it's gonna be here soon
And I know I won't turn back even if the whole 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're not home yet
So don't get too comfortable
'Cause really all we are is just pilgrims passing through

Well I know, we're going to make it
And I know we're going to get there soon
I'll keep on singing and believing
What all of my songs say

'Cause our God has made a promise
And I know that everything he says is true
And I know wherever we go, he will never leave us
'Cause he's going to lead us home
Ever single step of the long way, home

(Keep on, we're going to make
I know we're gonna make it
We're just taking the long way home
Keep on, we're gonna make it
I know we're gonna make it
We're just taking the long way home
Keep on, we're gonna make it
Keep on, we're going to make
I know we're gonna make it
We're just taking the long way home
Keep on, we're gonna make it
I know we're gonna make it)
It's just a long way home
