We Have Come a Long Way
Journey of Redemption: Alan Dreezer's Reflection on Love and Transformation
Lyrics
I'm trying to make up for lost time
I'm making an effort to compensate for time that has been lost.
I'm feeling guilty
I feel a sense of guilt.
For everything I left behind
Regret for leaving things behind.
I'm trying to change what I'd become
Striving to transform who I've become.
I'm trying to forget the time
Attempting to erase memories of a time when I couldn't escape.
When I couldn't run
Reflecting on a time when I was unable to run away.
You have shown me how to be
You've taught me how to exist.
You have made it all alright
You've made everything okay.
You have shown me that with love
Showed that love can brighten the future.
The future can be bright
Love has the power to make the future positive.
We've come a long way
We've progressed significantly.
I have something to say
I have something important to express.
We have come a long way
Acknowledging the journey of progress.
I wouldn't be here without you
I owe my current position to you.
I'm changing all my nights into days
Transforming nights into days, possibly overcoming challenges.
I'm sharing my feelings
Sharing emotions rather than keeping them reserved for difficult times.
Not saving them for rainy days
Expressing gratitude for both deception and pain that led to a positive outcome.
I'm thankful for the lies and the pain
Thankful for experiences that brought me to you.
They've driven me to you
Desire to clarify and explain.
Now I want to explain
You stood by me
Grateful for your support.
With all of your love
Your love has liberated me.
You set me free
Emphasizing freedom achieved with love.
You came from above
Your presence is divine.
