The Long Way Round Lyrics

Some people's lives seem to roll easy

Everything falls neatly into line

They don't even have to try and as the years go by

Things always seem to work out fine

Others seem to face a constant struggle

Chasing dreams and false alarms

It's hard to understand how with all the best laid plans

There's still so many ways a heart can come to harm

We've come the long way round

No short cuts along the way

We've come the long way round

To get to where we are today

But it's all been worth the waiting

To find the love we've found

We've come the long way round

We've both travelled different journeys

To arrive together in this place

The route that has defined how our lives have intertwined

Has been following the map of faith and grace

Different worlds with different stories

Different beats on different drums

Now together every prayer is for the future that we share

Believing that the best is yet to come

We've come the long way round

No short cuts along the way

We've come the long way round

To get to where we are today

But it's all been worth the waiting

To find the love we've found

We've come the long way round

We're not an overnight sensation

We're not a bolt from out the blue

Its been a slow train coming

To reach our destination

To finally arrive at me and you

We've come the long way round

No short cuts along the way

We've come the long way round

To get to where we are today

But it's all been worth the waiting

To find the love we've found

We've come the long way round
