Rachel Lampa: "All This Time" Lyrics

Chorus:

It's taken me all this time to see the sun

It's taken me all these roads to learn how to run

You've given me rain to wash away the stuff i thought i knew

And all that's left of me is you



v.1:

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 nothings comin 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



pc1:

I believe in the helping hand, my fellow man

And the fail-safe “love thy neighbor plan”

The promise, the creed, the other cheek, so help me

I need to get to you



Repeat chorus



v.2:

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 and I'm so glad it's you



pc2:



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 this time to learn how to run

After the rain has washed away the rust and residue

All that's left of me is you



Bridge:

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
