Long Road

I've been scared of my own words
I tried to disguise them
I tried living in silence
neither seemed effective
I took a look in the mirror
I saw my own future
my soul is eternal
it's all a great circle
it's all coming through now
it's loud and it's clear how
in order to get it
you've got to give it away
I've been dropping the baggage
I've been clearing the path
been living in love
my heart is filling up
I've learned patience is action
I've learned the truth is contagious
it's easy to say it
you've got to live it
I've been taking the long road
I've been smelling the flowers
I took a dip in the river
I found you in forever
and my voice ran dry
from talking to you all night
and I wouldn't want it
any other way

I've been taking the long road
I've been smelling the flowers
