[Title: A Long Way Home] [Intro] [Slow minimalist bassline] [Echoing ambient electric-guitar chords] [Verse 1: Male Lead] Every night I wandered far Chasing every fading star Sleeping through the morning light Driving restless through the night [Verse 2: Female Lead] Every time I reached for love I mistook a shadow for enough Every promise wore so thin Never healing what was deep within [Chorus: Male And Female Duet] [Guitars become spacious and washed in reverb] And it’s a long way home But Your mercy meets us on the road When we fall so low You’re the faithful hand that won’t let go Through the cold and dark You keep calling to our wandering hearts Though we lost our way Jesus, You were with us all the way [Guitar Interlude] [Slow melodic electric guitar with reverb and delay] [Verse 3: Alternating Vocals] [Male] Every dream I tried to chase [Female] Only left an empty space [Male] Then Your voice broke through the rain [Female] And called me gently by my name [Pre-Chorus: Intertwined Harmonies] [Male] We had nothing left to bring [Female] Still You welcomed us within [Both] Still You welcomed us within [Chorus: Male And Female Duet] And it’s a long way home But Your mercy meets us on the road When we fall so low You’re the faithful hand that won’t let go Through the cold and dark You keep calling to our wandering hearts Though we lost our way Jesus, You were with us all the way [Bridge: Gentle Call And Response] [Female] When I had no strength to rise [Male] You were standing by my side [Female] Not because my hands were clean [Both] But because You carried me [Male] I was lost beyond my sight [Female] Still You came into my night [Male And Female In Harmony] Now the road that led us wrong Leads us where we have belonged [Final Chorus: Full Duet With Distant Choir] It was a long way home But Your mercy met us on the road When we fell so low You were still the hand that wouldn’t let go Through the cold and dark You kept calling to our wandering hearts Now we know the way Jesus, You will lead us all our days [Outro: Male And Female Harmonizing] [Drums gradually disappear] You called us by our names You carried all our shame We were never left alone You led us all the way home [Female Vocal Echo] All the way home [Male Vocal Echo] You led us home [Instrumental outro slowly drifts into silence] [Fade to end]
