Lyrics
Long Way
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
One day when the mountains shook
Your momma cried and there you stood
Long way, long way, long way, long way
Looking back in the picture book
So now you’re here grown and tall
But in the darkness you still feel small
Long way, long way, long way, long way
To the light if you gotta crawl
Some day you’re gonna fall
Down to the bottom with the rest of us all
And if you’re alive, kid, you are young
Shake like a fever and give it all you got till you’re gone
Wise man said, “you better watch your step”
And mind the words the you say in your head
It’s a long way, long way, long way, long way
You get fat on what you’re fed
And are you scared to give it up?
Are you frightened that you’re not enough?
And are you satisfied with the wine in your cup?
Or is it another cheap little rush?
Some day you’re gonna fall
Down to the bottom with the rest of us all
And if you’re alive, then kid, you are young
Shake like a fever and give it all you got till you’re gone
Some day you’re gonna fall
Down to the bottom with the rest of us all
And if you’re alive, then kid, you are young
Shake like a fever and give it all you got till you’re gone
