Sometimes dreams get lost, sometimes love takes timeBut the greatest things are worth standing in lineAnd it's never a race, long as you get where you're goingSometimes the heart takes the long way homeSometimes you go astray, chasing cloudsBumps in the road, just moments of doubtBeginner's mistakes, there's no way of knowingSometimes the heart takes the long way homeLife's a melody of hope that we're all singingEvery day I'm learning more just how it goesLet me go, let me roamEven when I'm slowIt's just a long way homeWhen the days get roughWhen you lose the fightWhen you're begging for mercyJust to make things alrightRemember the greatest giverThey're worth standing in lineSometimes the heart takes the long way homeSometimes dreams come trueSometimes they don'tYou can lose all your moneyBut don't lose your hopeAs the years roll onKnow that you'll be just fineSometimes the heart takes the long way homeLife's a melody of hope that we're all singingEvery day I'm learning more just how it goesLet me go, let me roamEven when I'm slowIt's just a long way homeIt's just a long way homeOh, oh, oh, oh, ohIt's just a long way home
