The Long Way Home

along a beaten path
that's where it all began
i sold my soul for dreams
for things i couldn't see

along an open road
a story to be told
embrace the future and
alone you too should win

and you can find the heart
to have a brand new start
and you can find the stars
among the deepest dark

take the long way home
take the long way home
take the long way home
to me

you've told the truth with lies
recounting alibis
the plans you meant to keep
they seem so out of reach
but to look the other way
and to run instead of stay
to loose the hope you've had
to get it back again

take the long way home
take the long way home
take the long way home
to me
