Its been a long time coming

since I saw your face

Since we held it down

Since we were in the chase

It was the road less traveled

The path less formed

A skinny trail

It was barely worn



But we kept walkin'

and slippin' and talking'

And runnin' and fallin'

And cryin' and crawlin'



We were in the trenches

On top of the world

Young refugees but we were momma's pearls

Where you been dog?

Where you been?



I thought you fell off the face of the earth

I thought you fell, I thought you fell

I thought you fell off the face of the earth

I thought you fell, I thought you fell



Its been way too long and we've come too far

For you to drop out of my life like a falling star

Right off my radar

Not a sign or a trace

You know I had love for you that's Bigger than mistakes



Now Hope Road is calling

Let's pack you up and move

'Cause real friends are willing to intrude

So I'm gonna push you in because I wanna love you well

Let the ghosts of your past rest



Open up the door

This is the first day of the rest of your life

What are you waiting for?

This is the first day of the rest of your life

Open up the door



To life ...

Behold I stand at the door and knock

If anyone hears my voice and opens the door

I will come in ...
