Years and Years

4:00christian folk 2025-10-29

Lyrics and translation

Original

My mama says if I go to bed and go get some rest

That I'll feel better in the morning

But I can't sleep with all these melodies

They're always calling me to let them in

And I'm not that fast, I'm not finished last

But I keep making time for laughter

'Cause if I can't find joy in this journey I'm on

Well, then I might be doing something wrong, hm

'Cause it could take years and years and years and years

So eventually, I hope I've done a thing or two

And if it takes years and years and years and years

Well, then I better keep on going 'til it all comes true

It could take years and years and years and years

So eventually, I hope I've done a thing or two

And if it takes years and years and years and years

Well, then I better keep on going 'til it all comes true, oh

Now picture this, infinite bliss

From all the risk of all the ships that I've untethered

They sail away for many days

To find a place that feels like home

And I've made some plans (I've made some plans)

But they've been erased (they've been erased)

And been replaced with something better

So if I can't find joy in this journey I'm on

Well, then I might be doing something wrong

'Cause it could take years and years and years and years

Oh, eventually, I hope I've done a thing or two

And if it takes years and years and years and years

Well, then I better keep on going 'til it all comes true

It could take years and years and years and years

So eventually, I hope I've done a thing or two

And if it takes years and years and years and years

Well, then I better keep on going 'til it all comes true

But, oh boy, do I know that I'm not on my own? (Ooh)

Oh boy, do I know that I'm not on my own? (Ooh)

Oh boy, do I know that I'm not on my own? (Ooh)

Oh boy, do I know that I'm not on my own? (Ooh)

'Cause it could take years and years and years and years

So eventually, I hope I've done a thing or two

And if it takes years and years and years and years

Well, then I better keep on going 'til it all comes true, oh
