after years of saying please
i'm getting up off of my knees
i'm so tired not being taken seriously
and i can't count all the times
big opportunities came by
i thought if i hold out
something better will arrive

it's a long way there
but you'll get there soon
a long way, but you'll get there
it's a long way there
but you'll get there soon
a long way, but you'll get there

it's not the prophet that i see
but more the genuine belief
if you build up from the ground
it will pay off eventually
but it's a long way before that happens
and i'm willing to stay
long way before that happens
and i'm going to stay
i'm ready to stay
and i'm gonna stay

it's a long way there
but you'll get there soon
a long way, but you'll get there soon
