Lyrics

Verse 1]
We thought the road would take us
Somewhere we could start again,
Where nobody could hurt us,
Where the lonely days would end.
The road beneath us fell away
And the sky turned from blue,
And the things we tried to run from
Were the things we carried through.
[Chorus]
It's a long way through the darkness,
It's a long way to the light.
When the world is falling under,
Will you hold on through the night?
When the road becomes a memory,
And the stars are lost from view,
If I cannot find my way home,
I'll find my way with you.
It's a long way,
A long way through.
[Verse 2]
There are voices in the silence,
There are faces in the glass,
There are words we keep believing
From a world we thought we'd passed.
There's a girl who hides her sorrow,
There's a girl afraid to fall,
One who carries everybody,
One who laughs to hide it all.
[Chorus]
It's a long way through the darkness,
It's a long way to the light.
When the world is falling under,
Will you hold on through the night?
When the road becomes a memory,
And the stars are lost from view,
If I cannot find my way home,
I'll find my way with you.
It's a long way,
A long way through.
[Bridge]
Maybe courage isn't fearless,
Maybe strength is letting go.
Maybe love is simply staying
When there's nowhere left to go.
And the girl I thought I had to be
Isn't who I have to choose.
I can stumble, I can falter,
I can still make it through.
[Final Chorus]
It's a long way through the darkness,
But I can see the morning light.
And the world that fell beneath us
Couldn't keep us from the sky.
It's a long way,
A long way through.
[Outro]
And if the road should disappear,
I'll still be here with you.
The long way through.
