Long Road

It's been a long, slow road, but we're finally home It's been a hard few years, but we're out of it now The weight on our hearts is lifted off at last As the long, slow road sinks into the past So I open my heart to you now, you should know that I'm scared I'm bruised and I'm broken, but healing fast under your care 'Cause the roar of the emptiness dwindles away when you're there And that's a right thing There have been cold, cruel days when my spirit was gone There have been dark, dark nights when I thought I was done But somehow your voice could always break through To the part of me that knows what is true So open your arms to me now, there is room for that here I'll hold you as long as it takes you to know that it's real 'Cause the roar of the emptiness dwindles away when it's shared If we should dare to hold on to this It's been a long, slow road It's been a hard few years Maybe there's hope of peace at the end Of the long slow road
