It's been a long time coming
Coming home to my heart
My heart leading my mind
It's been a long while like
a joy always within a child's heart
Within mine to rediscover
Eons I forgot and running after time
Waiting on validations
a child never sought
It's been a long time coming
home to butterflies in the evening garden
And gloworms in the misty night
It's been a long time coming
to understand a child's joy
That was lost now takes time to rewind
It's been along time coming
Coming home to my heart
