Why Does It Take So Long Lyrics

Abandon Why Does It Take So Long

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

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

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

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
