[Verse]
I cried out to listening ears
A childhood of learning new fears
Words that were promised by a whisper in my ear
Remembering days before me and counting down the years
[Chorus]
Oh, Is it a bird in the hand
Or, castles in the sand
Oh, It's been a long time coming
[Instrumental]
[Verse]
I cross the land of peers
And comforts suppress my tears
I'm bound by expectation but I don't know who to blame
The roads been laid before me but I don't think the same
[Chorus]
Oh, Is it a bird in the hand
Or, Castles in the sand
Oh, It's been a long time coming
[Instrumental]
[Verse]
Now I am the breaker of chains
And I have fire deep in my veins
I once believed that there's no other way but I wanted more
I reached out for the last time through the door of evermore
[Outro]
Oh, Is it a bird in the hand
Or castles in the sand
Oh, It's been a long time coming
It's been a long time coming
