Long Road

It's been a long, slow road, but we're finally home

It's been a hard few years, but we're out of it now

The weight on our hearts is lifted off at last

As the long, slow road sinks into the past

So I open my heart to you now, you should know that I'm scared

I'm bruised and I'm broken, but healing fast under your care

'Cause the roar of the emptiness dwindles away when you're there

And that's a right thing

There have been cold, cruel days when my spirit was gone

There have been dark, dark nights when I thought I was done

But somehow your voice could always break through

To the part of me that knows what is true

So open your arms to me now, there is room for that here

I'll hold you as long as it takes you to know that it's real

'Cause the roar of the emptiness dwindles away when it's shared

If we should dare to hold on to this

It's been a long, slow road

It's been a hard few years

Maybe there's hope of peace at the end

Of the long slow road
