The Long Way Around

I SEE THE LIGHT NOW

I BREATHE AGAIN NOW

I'VE FOUND SOME PEACE OF MIND FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE

THE FIGHT IS OVER

GOT NO MORE TEARS LEFT TO CRY

I THINK I FINALLY MADE IT HOME

I'VE BEEN SWALLOWED UP AND SPIT BACK OUT

BUT I FOUND THE STRENGTH WHEN I HAD MY DOUBTS

I'VE COME SO FAR

I'VE TAKEN THE LONG WAY BUT IT WAS MY WAY

AT LEAST I HAVE MADE IT HERE ALIVE

MY LESSONS ARE LEARNED NOW MY BLESSINGS I'VE EARNED NOW

MY MOMENT HAS ARRIVED

NO ONE SAID IT'D BE SO HARD BUT I NEVER WANTED IT EASY

COS NOW THAT I MADE IT I'M GLAD THAT I'VE TAKEN

THE LONG WAY AROUND

I GOT MY HEART BACK

I GOT MY SOUL BACK

I CAN FINALLY LEARN TO LOVE MYSELF AGAIN

NOW I SEE COLORS

WHERE I USED TO SEE ONLY BLACK AND WHITE

I FOUND THE RAINBOW I WAS SEARCHING FOR

I'VE BEEN SWALLOWED UP AND SPIT BACK OUT

BUT I FOUND THE STRENGTH WHEN I HAD MY DOUBTS

I'VE COME SO FAR

WHEN I WAS LOST IN THE DARK

CORNERS OF MIND AND PAIN WAS CALLING

YOU SEND AN ANGEL IN THE NICK OF TIME TO STOP ME FROM FALLING

AND I'M NEVER LOOKING BACK AGAIN

I'VE LEARNED FROM MY MISTAKES

NOW I'M AWARE BUT NOT AFRAID
