And I set out on a narrow way
Many years ago
Hoping I would find true love
Along the broken road
Oh, but I got lost a time or two
See, I wiped my brow, but I kept pushing through
Couldn't see how every sign
Pointed straight to you
And every long stream
Led me to where you are
And others who broke my heart
They were like northern stars
Holding me on my way
Can't take your loving arms
This much I know is true
And that God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you
But I think about the years I've spent
Just passing through
But I'd like to have the time I've lost
And give it back to you
Oh, but you just smile and take my hand
See, you've been there, you understand
It's all part of a grander plan
That is coming to rule
And every long stream
Led me to where you are
And others who broke my heart
They were like northern stars
Holding me on my way
Can't take your loving arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you
Oh, but I got lost a time or two



And now I'm just a boy
Here's to my life as one
This verse I know is true
Oh, that God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you
And that God blessed the broken road
And that led me straight to you
Oh, that God blessed the broken road
