what took me so long
i just realized my stumbing blocks were stepping stones
those cotton fields i know
now they're aint no mind
still our people
so i know that i'm late in coming jsut this far
when your spirit tell you who you are
oh lord be your stars
what took me so long
i just realized my stumbing blocks were stepping stones
casue only in my heart
i couldnt' stand to sing
soak me so you can hear my melody
i'm gonna stand and shout
oh yeah
i walked the world to see
now i realize what took me so long
