Well this road is long and I'm so far from my home
Some days I don't recognise myself
Though my faith is strong there is still so far to go
Some nights I can't help but doubt myself

For I'm not the kid I used to be back when I was young
I talk now where I used to shout, I walk where I used to run
But I'm still my father's boy, I am still my mother's son
And they know like I know
That the road is long

Well this road is long and the path's not always clear
Some days I don't know which way to go
Though my heart is strong it gets heavy with fear
Some nights I wonder if I'll ever know

For I'm not the man I'll grow to be in many years to come
I'll listen where I used to speak and I'll sit where I used to run
Maybe a husband to a wife, maybe a father to a son
And they'll know like I know
That the road is long

But for now I'm just the man I am
Nothing less and nothing more
I'm everything I have become
From all that's been before
I've never really known a lot
But one thing I am sure that I know
Yes, I know
That the road is long
