Lyrics
I took one step away and I thought
Hey what's the harm
Still feel the heat from here
Still see the light still feel the warm
What's another step or two
That wouldn't be so wrong would it
Then when I looked for truth
My eye for truth was gone
And out of desperation a mercy plea
A spell of wisdom just came over me
Chorus:
I took the long way home
Back to what I believe
I took the long way home
You were waiting there for me
You were always faithful
Even when my faith
Was not so strong
It's been a long way home
You know I never intended
To get off the track so far
The lights that turned my head
Are looking quite bizarre
It takes so little time for me to be deceived
But just a simple faith can bring me to my knees
There are some stones better left unturned
And some bridges never crossed are better burned
(Repeat Chorus)
