I Took the Longer Way Around

I took the longer way around I discovered the elongated path I have gone through the mystery of life I have seen those things that bring about doubt I scaled the walls meant for me I also encountered the things that I shouldn't have seen What did I miss from the start That caused life to fall apart Now I watch the steps that I take I first question a thing to avoid an escape I shook and jive to remain alive I had the Divine all the time I believe that I will see the finish line I will claim all that was and is mine I too had a path I had to take I reached that higher state Of mind a thing I never lost Of time that thing that forever taught I'm ready to continue on this road A place that's paved in gold My wish for you to also see That place of true destiny Everlasting from one day to the next Something that we will never regret We took the longer way around But we believe that we will still have our crown You too I pray to see On this path of true destiny
