It's a long way home, and the fists have flown    In the silence, there's nowhere left to run    It's the battle of our pending love    In the shadow of another smoking gun       When we dreamed this dream    For the first time, it seemed    We could live this love for a lifetime   You and me    So I will      [chorus]    I will not give up this fight    I will not lay down and die    I will not carry this heart of stone    I may not be your place to run    I may not be your kingdom come    I may stumble through this great unknown    But I will be all that is true    I will not give up on you    I was made to be with you alone    Cause you and me, we're gonna see   The long way home       It's a long way home, and the crying's done    But the sorrow is still wet upon your face    Our colliding hearts sometimes break apart    But now the pieces are gathered up in grace       When we dream this dream    For the last time, we'll see    That we lived this love for a lifetime   Just you and me    So I will      [chorus]   I will not give up this fight    I will not lay down and die    I will not carry this heart of stone    I may not be your place to run    I may not be your kingdom come    I may stumble thru this great unknown    But I will be all that is true    I will not give up on you    I was made to be with you alone    Cause you and me, we're gonna see    The long way home       I will not give up this fight    I will not lay down and die    I will not carry this heart of stone    Cause I am not your place to run    I am not your kingdom come    And I may stumble thru this great unknown    But I will be all that is true    I will not give up on you    I was made to be with you alone       Cause you and I, we're gonna fly   The long way home
