[Verse 1]
It's been a long, slow road, but we're finally home
It's been a hard few years, but we're out of it now
The weight on our hearts is lifted off at last
As the long, slow road sinks into the past

[Chorus]
So I open my heart to you now, you should know that I'm scared
I'm bruised and I'm broken, but healing fast under your care
'Cause the roar of the emptiness dwindles away when you're there
And that's a right thing

[Verse 2]
There have been cold, cruel days when my spirit was gone
There have been dark, dark nights when I thought I was done
But somеhow your voice could always break through
To the part of mе that knows what is true

[Chorus]
So open your arms to me now, there is room for that here
I'll hold you as long as it takes you to know that it's real
'Cause the roar of the emptiness dwindles away when it's shared
If we should dare to hold on to this

[Outro]
It's been a long, slow road
It's been a hard few years
Maybe there's hope of peace at the end
Of the long slow road
