It's been a long time coming
But I know you are the one
Here at home at last the days have ceased
It's been a long time coming
And I know we've just begun
All the pain has passed and there is peace
If the breath was warm and tender
Now the breath becomes a yawn
And I've been returned to sender
And I'm better since I'm gone
It's been a long time coming
But I know you are the one
Here with time erased I'm at my best
It's been a long time coming
And I know we've just begun
Without a pretty face I can just rest
But the march is still ongoing
I can hear the drummers' roll
And it can't show signs of slowing
It is true, dear, it's my soul
It's been a long time coming
But I know you are the one
Here at home at last the days have ceased
It's been a long time coming
And I know we've just begun
All the pain has passed and there is peace.
