it's been a long time coming
but i know you are the one
here at home at last the days have ceased
it's been a long time coming
and i know we've just begun
all the pain has passed and there is peace
if the breath was warm and tender
now the breath becomes a yawn
and i've been returned to sender
and i'm better since i'm gone. it's been a long time coming
but i know you are the one
here with time erased i'm at my best
it's been a long time coming
and i know we've just begun
without a pretty face i can just rest
but the march is still ongoing
i can hear the drummers' roll
and it can't show signs of slowing
it's my soul. it's been a long time coming
but i know you are the one
here at home at last the days have ceased
it's been a long time coming
and i know we've just begun
all the pain has passed and there is peace.
