The Long Way Home

This life feels like the longest part
Even though eternity is ours
And on our way to streets of gold
Let's savour every mile of this road

We're not where we're going
And we're not lost where we are
Taking the long way home
Just taking the long way home
There's beauty on the backroads
Even when this journey's hard
Taking the long way home
Just taking the long way home

Celebrate what we have now
Living life like every moment counts
Here on earth with kingdom eyes
Treasuring the gift of borrowed time

We're not where we're going
And we're not lost where we are
Taking the long way home
Just taking the long way home
There's beauty on the backroads
Even when this journey's hard
Taking the long way home
Just taking the long way home

No we won't miss the view while we're on this climb
Oh the stories we'll take to the other side
No we won't miss the view while we're on this ride
Oh the stories we'll take to the other side
(The other side)

We're not where we're going
And we're not lost where we are
Taking the long way home
Just taking the long way home
(Taking the long way home)
There's beauty on the backroads
Even when this journey's hard
Taking the long way home
Just taking the long way home
(Taking the long, taking the long way home)

No we won't miss the view while we're on this climb
Oh the stories we'll take to the other side
No we won't miss the view while we're on this ride
Oh the stories we'll take to the other side
