I guess you think you have done quite well
It took so long, it took so long
Look in your eyes and I think you can tell
It took so long, it took so long
It took so long, it took so long, so long

I guess you think you have gone quite far
It took so long, it took so long
I remember the day when I was where you are
It took so long, it took so long
It took so long, it took so long, so long, so long

And I don't know why but it seems like I'm just trying to fool myself
And I don't know how I'll be trusting God's truth
When they did nothing but prove to put me on the shelf
........'til the Lord came inside and I asked myself why it took so long

This change in me didn't come over night
It took so long, it took so long
I know you've been looking hard all right
It took so long, it took so long
It took so long, it took so long, so long, so long

I don't know why but it seems like you're
Just trying to fool your self and I don't know how
You'll be trusting God's truth when that's got nothing for you
But put you on the self
.... get up now and try and ask yourself why it took so long, so long

It took so long, it took so long
It took so long, it took so long yeah
It took so long, took so long
It took so long, it took so long, so long
