Dorothy Norwood Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We’ve come a long way (we’ve come along way)
Sometimes it was an uphill journey
Sometimes on the rough side of the mountain
But we’ve come a long way we’ve come a long way
Leaning and depending on Jesus we’ve come a long way

Sometimes i had to cry all night long (we’ve come a long way)
But the lord god almighty never left inc alone (we’ve come a long way)

We’ve come a long way (we’ve come along way)
Sometimes it was an uphill journey
Sometimes on the rough side of the mountain
But we’ve come a long way we’ve come a long way
Leaning and depending on Jesus we’ve come a long way

Sometimes i was up and sometime i was down
Sometimes i was almost level to the ground
Sometimes i was right and sometimes i was wrong
But i kept on praying and he made me strong

We’ve come a long way (we’ve come along way)
Sometimes it was an uphill journey
Sometimes on the rough side of the mountain
But we’ve come a long way we’ve come a long way
Leaning and depending on Jesus we’ve come a long way





When the lights go out and the crowd gets thin
When your friends move out, that’s when the lord steps in
