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
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
