I took the scenic route
You know that seeing's believing
I used to be blinded by feelings of fear and doubt
Now I'm on scene and I'm reeling to shout it out
Religion or deen got the same meaning and now I can't live without
Hear me out
God isn't just a celebrity making us follow through every step of a recipe
Human divinity breath of the maker what makes us move A to B
Isn't it plain to see?
Follow your course is to follow His plan
You have your own
and every woman and every man
The journey's the same but each path is a branch
Mine used to be random
Worry 'bout looking all handsome
Holding my health to a ransom
All reckless abandon
Look what that has done)
Dropped outta uni three times
My grades always bleak never got over C's
So I moved overseas
To escape from my problems
And now I can see
The problem's with me
Thought I was having fun growing up, saw how it's blowing up like it's some C4
I took the long way around, now I've been found, 'cause it's only a detour
Now I'm just trying to be more
I was misguided just before
On the way down like a see saw
Long way around, like a detour
Long way around, like a detour
Now I'm just trying to be more
Long way around, like a detour
This life is so filled with distractions
No navigation only inaction
That's why when they hate all they get is reactions
Idle believers so quick to their anger
Thinking that rage and disdain are the ways to display your love for your faith?
Blink and you'll miss all the tricks that they get us to ditch from our ways
So don't get complacent
Thought I was fighting for justice but anger is just as destructive as hate,
I took the long way around and now I've been found, 'cause It's never too late
Now I'm just trying to be more
I was misguided just before
On the way down like a see saw
Long way around, like a detour
Long way around, like a detour
Now I'm just trying to be more
Long way around, like a detour
Saturday school as a kid
Didn't know why, didn't make sense
Try as I might I could never fit in
I struggled with friends, did not comprehend
The fact that we're learning bout heaven and hell
While everyone else is living in sin
Struggles within make it harder to wanna be good for a goddamned God I don't get
In a sense this is innocence lost
My inner sense of what's right and what's wrong
Oh the light how it shone, and I thought it was gone
Couldn't stand it for long so I'm writing this song
And I'm fighting my thoughts
Temptation is strong but I've got my resolve
Take every chance to say once and for all,
No voicemail for heaven I'll answer the call
Now I'm just trying to be more
Long way around, like a detour
Now I'm just trying to be more
Long way around, like a detour
