Oh it's a long way, just to get home. Let's take a road that we ain't took before.
Oh it's a long time, that's what it is. All the more reason to take a risk.
And you got a raw deal, I understand. What kind of world would deal you that hand?
I don't have answers, nobody does. But look to the sky, because the night's coming on.
And that means, we still get to dance.
You've been hurt so many times before I know, but now ain't the past.
I ain't no preacher to save your soul. I ain't a doctor to tell you what's wrong.
Oh, it's a long time. And it's so brief. I'll hold on to you, you just hold on to me.
Oh it's a long time, to have just begun. Wondering why you're not like everyone.
Let us not be frightened, let us not be scared. Look deep inside, the gifts were meant to be shared.
And that means, we still get to dance.
You've been hurt so many times before I know, but now ain't the past.
Oh, it's a long way. Just to get home.
