It's been a long time coming

But I know you are the one

Here at home at last the days have ceased



It's been a long time coming

And I know we've just begun

All the pain has passed and there is peace



If the breath was warm and tender

Now the breath becomes a yawn

And I've been returned to sender

And I'm better since I'm gone...



It's been a long time coming

But I know you are the one

Here with time erased I'm at my best



It's been a long time coming

And I know we've just begun

Without a pretty face I can just rest



But the march is still ongoing

I can hear the drummers' roll

And it can't show signs of slowing

It is true, dear, it's my soul...



It's been a long time coming

But I know you are the one

Here at home at last the days have ceased



It's been a long time coming

And I know we've just begun

All the pain has passed and there is peace.
