Sometimes dreams get lost, sometimes love takes time
But the greatest things are worth standing in line
And it's never a race, long as you get where you're going
Sometimes the heart takes the long way home
Sometimes you go astray, chasing clouds
Bumps in the road, just moments of doubt
Beginner's mistakes, there's no way of knowing
Sometimes the heart takes the long way home
Life's a melody of hope that we're all singing
Every day I'm learning more just how it goes
Let me go, let me roam
Even when I'm slow
It's just a long way home
When the days get rough
When you lose the fight
When you're begging for mercy
Just to make things alright
Remember the greatest giver
They're worth standing in line
Sometimes the heart takes the long way home
Sometimes dreams come true
Sometimes they don't
You can lose all your money
But don't lose your hope
As the years roll on
Know that you'll be just fine
Sometimes the heart takes the long way home
Life's a melody of hope that we're all singing
Every day I'm learning more just how it goes
Let me go, let me roam
Even when I'm slow
It's just a long way home
It's just a long way home
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
It's just a long way home
