Lyrics

The broken road

I set out on the narrow way
Many years ago
Hoping I would find true love
Along the broken road
I got lost a time or two
Wiped my brow, kept pushing through
I couldn't see how every sign pointed straight to you

Every long-lost dream led me to where you are
Others who broke my heart, they were just northern stars
Pointing me on my way, into your loving arms
This much I know is true
That god blessed the broken road that led me straight to you

I think about the years I spent
I'd like to find the time I lost and give it back to you
You just smile and take my hand; you've been there, you understand
It's all part of a greater plan that is coming true

Every longlost dream led me to where you are
Others who broke my heart, they were just falling stars
Pointing me on my way, into your loving arms
This much I know is true
That god blessed the broken road that led me straight to you
