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!) And I'm on my way, walking in circles A cloud by day leading me onward Then Then I heard You say we're taking the long way home Taking the long way A fire by night, lighting the shadows Moving along, little by little Then Then 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 why I've never tried Look how far we've come Color 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 Then Then I heard You say we're taking the long way home Taking the long way A fire by night, lighting the shadows Moving along, little by little Then I heard You say we're taking the long way home Taking the long way home 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 Well I hope it's worth the wait Been a long time coming Been a long time coming And I'm on my way, walking in circles A cloud by day leading me onward Then I heard You say we're taking the long way home Taking the long way A fire by night, lighting the shadows Moving along, little by little Then I heard You say we're taking the long way home Taking the long way home It's been a long time coming
