Rascal Flatts ‘God Bless the Broken Road’

Posted in Musings, Sing a song [of sixpence] at 5:06 pm by jadeite

Max and Bin sang this song for the NaIMs Poise Bazaar just now, and I must say they sounded really lovely together. Carrie Underwood sang this song for American Idol and I absolutely love it. It’s really meaningful too…so here are the lyrics. It’s so true of people nowadays, that we just keep trying and trying and keep looking for love; that it takes so many stops and starts and failed attempts to finally find the one you were searching for all your life. So don’t give up, you never know when he or she is just around the next corner. And you’ll never know if you don’t try.

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

Chorus:
Every long lost dream led me to where you are
Others who broke my heart they were like 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 just passing through
I’d like to have the time I lost and give it back to you
But you just smile and take my hand
You’ve been there you understand
It’s all part of a grander plan that is coming true

Chorus:
Every long lost dream led me to where you are
Others who broke my heart they were like 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

Now I’m just rollin’ home into my lover’s arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road that led me straight to you
