Why does it take so long for me
To know who I want to be, yeah
I've been an orphan down and out
And a king with a calloused heart, yeah
But who am I supposed to be
(Chorus)
I've carried this cross
I've been lost and lonely
I had to walk this world to see
That you are where I want to be
And why does it take so long (take so long)
And why does it take so long (take so long)
To find my way home
Why can't I just let it go
I've been fighting with my own soul, yeah
It's a fight I'm losing
But something's gonna turn around
I'm on the ropes but don't count me out yet
No don't count me out
(Chorus)
Looking for something written in the sky
To show me how
To get what's in my heart to my head now
Looking for something written in the sky
To show me how
To get what's in my heart to my head now
I've carried this cross
I've been lost and lonely
I had to walk this world to see
That you are where I want to be
You carried the cross
For the lost and lonely
You had to walk this world so I could see
That you are where I want to be
Why did it take so long? (You were here all along)
Why did it take so long? (Even when I was wrong)
