John Mark Thomas - This Long Mile Lyrics

I walk out the door and take a look around me
And I don't recognize it -- not a thing that I see
From the sky above me to the ground 'neath my feet
It's all so different from what I thought it would be

But I'm alright
As long as You're by my side
Everything's fine
Yeah, I'm alright
'Cause life's an adventure
And I'll see in time
The end of this mile
This long mile

I just found my feet and they're moving without me
Steady now 'cause tomorrow brings things I can't see
Waking up to the cold from a comfortable dream
Why didn't somebody tell me just how harsh life could be

But I'm alright
As long as You're by my side
Everything's fine
Yeah, I'm alright
'Cause life's an adventure
And I'll see in time
The end of this mile
This long mile

All I want is just a little hint
Just a candle to help light the way
'Cause I'm so scared of flying blind
Just as scared as of what You might say

But I'm alright
As long as You're by my side
Everything's fine
Yeah, I'm alright
'Cause life's an adventure
And I'll see in time
The end of this mile
This long mile

It's all so different from what I thought it would be
