Long Road
pearl jam/nusrat fateh ali khan Lyrics

And I wished for so long, cannot stay.
I have been hoping for a long time, but I cannot keep holding on anymore.

All the precious moments, cannot stay.
While I treasure these memories, they cannot last forever.

It's not like wings have fallen, cannot stay.
Nothing catastrophic has happened, yet I still feel incomplete.

But still something's missing, cannot say.
I cannot put my finger on it, but something vital is lacking.

Holding hands of daughters and sons,
Spending quality time with my children,

And their faiths are falling down.
As their beliefs falter and wane.

I have wished for so long
For years, I have longed for this,

How I wish for you today.
And right now, my desire for you is particularly strong.

Will I walk the long road? Cannot stay
I must embark on a difficult journey and cannot stay where I am.

There's no need to say goodbye
There is no reason to bid farewell permanently, as I will come back.

All the friends and family.
With all of my loved ones by my side,

All the memories going round.
Remembering all of the special moments we shared together.

I have wished for so long.
For so long, I have been hoping for this.

How I wish for you today.
How much I long for your presence right now.

And the wind keeps rollin',
As the wind continually blows,

And the sky keeps turning gray.
And the sky darkens with each passing moment.

And the sun is set
As the sun sets below the horizon,

The sun will rise another day.
I know that the sun will eventually rise again, bringing a new day full of possibilities.

Will I walk the long road?
As I embark on this challenging journey,

We all walk the long road
I remember that we all face our own hardships and challenges on this journey we call life.
