It's taken me all this time to see the sun It's taken me all these roads to learn how to run You've given me rain to wash away the stuff i thought i knew And all that's left of me is you
I've been sweeping around this room with a fine tooth broom I've been searching for signs of life But nothings comin through I've been flipping through pages full of golden rules Tripping over the same old things, I thought I'd long since moved
I believe in the helping hand, my fellow man And the fail-safe “love thy neighbor plan” The promise, the creed, the other cheek, so help me
You've been paving the way, making it straight The path has been cleared I've been a little hesitant, but you still find me here You've been flooding my thoughts Now I'm breaking the locks making my way through I can see to the other side and I'm so glad it's you
What I can't do and I believe, I believe in you
It's taken me all this time to see the sun It's taken me all this time to learn how to run After the rain has washed away the rust and residue All that's left of me is you
I believe I can overcome the things that have been left undone I believe I have a place to go, somehow I know, I will get to you
