Long way home

Long way home
   Traveling on hands and knees
        Every day is please...please...please
                                        And thank you
I want to be with you
   Told not to dwell on the past
                         But every turn
                               Brings back a sin...a wrong
                               All the things I've done
Reminding me of the pain
      And hurt I've wrung
                     From you--I've put you through

      What am I to do
    When all I want to
                  Say is...I love you

I'm on my feet
        Ready to meet
             Each moment of each day
        I'm on my way
        My way home
              I apologize with every breath
              I know the past can't be undone
                         Things said can't be taken back
                                              Can't be unheard

What am I to do
   When all I want to do
         Is stay with you

The maze of madness
       The labyrinth full of
              Closed doors and dead ends
                   Navigating my way home
I've traveled on hands and knees
                            I'm on my feet
            Step by step
I move closer to you
                         closer to home

What am I to do
   When all I want from you
               Is to hear you say
                                     I love you

Actions speak louder than words
                             this I've heard
             But they don't take the place
                 Of how my heart will race
              When you speak to me
                When you use the key
                              And say those three
                                      Words...words...words
