Detour

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
