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 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 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 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 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 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
