Why Does It Take So Long?
Abandon

Why does it take so long for me*

To know who I want to be

Am I missing something here?

I’ve been an orphan down and out

And a king with a calloused heart

But who am I supposed to be

[Chorus:]

I’ve carried this cross

I’ve been lost and lonely

I had to walk this world to see

That you are where I want to be

And why does it take so long

To find my way home

Why can’t I just let it go

I’ve been fighting with my own soul

It’s a fight I’m losing

But something’s gonna turn around

I’m on the ropes but don’t count me out yet

No don’t count me out

[Bridge:]

Am I looking for a sign

Looking for something written in the sky

To show me how

To get what’s in my heart to my head now

[Chorus 2:]

You carried the cross

For the lost and lonely

You had to walk this world so I could see

That you are where I want to be

Why did it take so long?

(You were here all along)

Why did it take so long?

(Even when I was wrong)

To find my way home
