It's Been A Long Time - Mark Schultz

I know there’s a hole inside of me that’s nine foot wide

I know cause I’ve tried to fill it up with foolish pride

And You go and You take my trophies off the ledges

Idols I had kept instead of wanting what was real

I that I’ve worn a thousand costumes in my life

I know so that no one else could see me deep inside

And You go and peel away from the perfect faces

Dust me off and then You say it’s

Time to be yourself

~And it’s been a long time~

~Been a long time~

~Been a long time for me~

~You've opened my eyes~

~And I’ve realized~

~It's been a long time to see~

~Who I am…~

I know there’s a little boy in me trapped deep inside

I know he’s so afraid to fail and so he hides

And You go and You open up a door within me

Take him by the hand and say we need to step outside

(Repeat Chorus)

And like a bird I want to fly away from here

Don’t want to look inside this broken heart of mine

It’s where You tell me there’s so much I have

To give away

So much to give to You

So much I buried deep inside of me

Beyond a wall of memories

You brought me here to set me free

The more I look the more I see that it’s
