It’s taken me all this time to see the sun
It’s taken me all these roads to learn how to run
After the rain to wash away the stuff I thought I knew
And all that’s left of me is you
I’ve been sweeping around this room with a fine tooth broom
Still don’t have a clue i’ve been
Searching for signs of life
But nothing's comin' through
I’ve been flipping through pages full of golden rules
A wealth of tiny truths
Tripping over the same old things,
I thought I’d long since moved
I believe in the helping hand, my fellow man
And the fail-safe "love thy neighbor plan”
The promise, the creed, the other cheek
So help me, I need to get to you
It’s taken me all this time to see the sun
It’s taken me all these roads to learn how to run
After the rain to wash away the stuff I thought I knew
And all that’s left of me is you
You’ve been paving the way, making it straight
I believe in the one about reaching out
Living loud, and all my doubts
I believe in what I can’t do
And I believe, I believe in you
It’s taken me all this time to see the sun
It’s taken me all these roads to learn how to run
After the rain to wash away the rust and residue
And all that’s left of me is you
I believe I can overcome
The things that have been left undone
I believe I have a place to go
Somehow I know, I will get to you
