Why Does It Take So Long lyrics

V1 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 V2 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
