(How come it took you so long)
(Go ahead)
Forgiveness and mercy
In short supply
So lonely, so faithful
No reason why
In my mind at this time
(How come it took you so long)
Just clear blue sky
Your story just starting
Don't fear to fly
(Go ahead)
It takes a miracle to make you see
My consciousness exploded
Your past life
Don't suit you
Take my hand
Kiss the future
Let fortune
Uproot you
Take my hand
Kiss the future
(Go ahead)
No time now for sorrow
Meet life full blast
(Go ahead)
Let's take on tomorrow
Forget the past
It takes a miracle to make you see
My consciousness exploded
Your past life
Don't suit you
Take my hand
(How come it took you so long)
Kiss the future
Let fortune
Uproot you
Take my hand
Kiss the future
(How come it took you so long)
(Go ahead)
(Go ahead
Go ahead)
(How come it took you so long)
(Go ahead)
It takes a miracle to make you see
My consciousness exploded
Your past life
Don't suit you
Take my hand
Kiss the future
Let fortune
Uproot you
Take my hand
Kiss the future
(How come it took you so long)
(This is what you came here for)
Your past life
(Stop the engine, slam the door)
Don't suit you
(Leave that lonesome corridor)
Take my hand
Kiss the future
(Take the plunge and wipe the slate)
Let fortune
(Smile your smile, you're feeling great)
Uproot you
(Soon you're going to celebrate)
Take my hand
Kiss the future
(Time has gone to hesitate)
Your past life
(Nothing now can make you wait)
Don't suit you
(Take control of your own fate)
(How come it took you so long)
Take my hand
Kiss the future
(Take tomorrow in your hand)
Let fortune
(Make the others understand)
Uproot you
(One break that you must demand)
Take my hand
Kiss the future
(This is what you came here for
Stop the engine, slam the door)
(How come it took you so long)
(Go ahead)
Forgiveness and mercy
