Lyrics

[Verse 1]

And I wished for so long

Cannot stay

All the precious moments

Cannot stay

It's not like wings have fallen

Cannot stay

Still something's missin'

I cannot say, yeah

[Verse 2]

Holdin' hands are daughters and sons

And their faiths are fallin' down, down, down, down

I have wished for so long

How I wish for you today

[Verse 3]

Will I walk the long road? (The long road)

Cannot stay (The long road)

There's no need to say goodbye (To say goodbye)

[Verse 4]

All the friends and family

All the memories goin' round, round, round, round

I have wished for so long

How I wish for you today

[Verse 5]

And the wind keeps roarin'

And the sky keeps turnin' grey

And the sun is set

The sun will rise another day

[Verse 6]

I

[Verse 7]

I have wished for so long

How I wish for you today

I have wished for so long

How I wish for you today

[Verse 8]

Will I walk the long road?

(We all walk the long road)

Will I walk the long road? (We all walk the long road)

Will I walk the long road?

Will I walk the long road? (We all walk the long road)

Will I walk the long road? (We all walk the long road)

Will I walk the long road?
