All This Time

It's taken me all this time to see the sun It's taken me all these roads to learn how to run After the rain has washed away the stuff I thought I knew All that's left of me is you I've been sweeping around this room with a fine tooth broom Still don't have a clue I've been searching for signs of life But nothing's coming through I've been flipping through pages full of golden rules A wealth of tiny truths Tripping over the same old things I thought I'd long since moved I believe in the helping hand, my fellow man The fail-safe ?love thy neighbor plan? The promise, the creed, the other cheek, so help me I need to get to you It's taken me all this time to see the sun It's taken me all these roads to learn how to run After the rain has washed away the stuff I thought I knew All that's left of me is you You've been paving the way, making it straight The path has been cleared I've been a little hesitant But you still find me here You've been flooding my thoughts, now I'm breaking the locks Making my way through I can see to the other side, I'm so glad it's you I believe in the one about reaching out, living loud, and all my doubts I believe in what I can't do and I believe, I believe in you It's taken me all this time to see the sun It's taken me all these roads to learn how to run After the rain has washed away the rust and residue All that's left of me is you I believe I can overcome the things that have been left undone I believe I have a place to go Somehow I know I will get to you --- All This Time - Rachael Lampa
