Long Road Home

(Verse 1) I was born in a town where the steel runs cold, Where the nights are long, and the stories are old, My father worked the line, and his hands were worn, He said, “Son, this world will leave you torn.” (Pre-Chorus) But there’s a fire burning deep inside, A dream that no one could deny, I packed my bags, and I hit the road, Chasing a light that never showed. (Chorus) It’s a long road home, but I keep on walking, Through the winds and the rain, I hear freedom calling, With every mile, I feel the pain, But I know in my heart, I’ll rise again. (Verse 2) I met a girl on the edge of town, Her eyes were lost, but her spirit was found, She said, “Boy, you ain’t the only one, Who’s running from the setting sun.” (Pre-Chorus) We held on tight through the endless night, Two souls bound by the fading light, But the road ahead was a heavy load, And the dreams we had began to erode. (Chorus) It’s a long road home, but we keep on walking, Through the shadows and the pain, we hear freedom calling, With every mile, we feel the strain, But we know in our hearts, we’ll rise again. (Bridge) Now the years have passed, and the road’s been hard, But we carry the scars like a soldier’s guard, In the rearview mirror, the past remains, But we drive on through the pouring rain. (Chorus) It’s a long road home, but we keep on walking, Through the winds and the rain, we hear freedom calling, With every mile, we feel the pain, But we know in our hearts, we’ll rise again. (Outro) So here we stand at the edge of the day, With the sun on our backs, we’ll find our way, It’s a long road home, but we’re not alone, With every step, we’re closer to the throne.
