It's been a long time coming
We can't understand
There's a light in the darkness but we fall apart like we're building on sand
This love changes everything
It's a back-breaking job
And you can't be king while you wait for the spring of the Kingdom of God
It's a long time coming, We're a long way from home
We cry out for peace and the captives' release but we're singing alone
And every small step we take to become awake
Is the beauty that changes the world
And those who we called profane now have been called by name
And we're conquered by one little word
We've got stones in our hands, he just writes in the sand
And says "Didn't you hear what I said?
God's in your neighbor's eyes, God is close and inside, There's a new life ahead
It's been a long time coming
There's a long way to go
And we follow a path and it doesn't come fast, so we're taking it slow
We are dreamers of history
We are lovers of love
There's a spirit that guides us and keeps us alive when the going gets rough
It's a long time coming, But it's coming for sure
And maybe today might just be the first day of the Year of the Lord
