[Verse 1]
It took a long time to find this place
It took a long time to see happy
It took a long time to recognize your face
It took a long time, running around
[Verse 2]
It took a long time to find this place
(For the first time in my life, for the first time in my life)
It took a long time to see happy
(For the first time in my life, I got a chance to see happy)
It took a long time to recognize your face
(For the first time in my life, for the first time in my life)
It took a long time running around
(For the first time in my life, running around)
[Verse 3]
Nothing good comes easy, nothing makes it fast
No one ever made love overnight to last
So it took so many, many years to meet
'Til we came together, I was incomplete
[Verse 4]
Yes, I was (Took a long time, took a long time)
Yeah! Yeah (Took a long time)
(Took a long time, took a long time, took a long time)
[Verse 5]
(It took a long time to find this place)
Love won’t be divided, helped me find my space
(It took a long time to see happy)
Spirit over matter, felt my angel near
(It took a long time to recognize your face)
You’re the place I worship, you’re the place I’ll stay
(It took a long time, running around)
Wherever you will go, I’m gonna go your way
[Verse 6]
It took a long time to find this place
(For the first time in my life, I see the sun and moon shining bright)
It took a long time to see happy
(And my life looks so much better than it ever did before)
It took a long time to recognize your face
(And though my heart’s been broken time or two before this time)
It took a long time running around
(I’m sure, I got a chance to see happy)
[Verse 7]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, hey
(Took a long time, took a long time, took a long time)
(Took a long time, took a long time)
Yeah (Took a long time)
[Verse 8]
(It took a long time to find this place)
For the first time in my life, for the first time in my life
(It took a long time to see happy)
For the first time in my life, I got a chance to see happy
(It took a long time to recognize your face)
For the first time in my life, for the first time in my life
(It took a long time, running around)
For the first time in my life, I got a chance to see happy
[Verse 9]
It took a long time to find this place
(For the first time in my life, for the first time in my life)
It took a long time to see happy
(For the first time in my life, I got a chance to see happy, I see happy)
It took a long time to recognize
(For the first time in my life, for the first time in my life)
