Rascal Flatts – Bless the Broken Road Lyrics

Country

The other song's called Broken Road, it's on our feels like today, and we hope you like it

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

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
(Yes He did)

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

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
Yeah

Now I'm just rolling home
Into my lover's arms
This much I know is true (know it's true)
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you

That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you
You, yeah

About This Song

    My son sang this song for my daughter and new son-in-law at their wedding and it was BEAUTIFUL!!! When you listen to the words, it fits anyone that has been thru relationships that "broke our hearts" and the meaning of this song is beyond words. Thank you for such a beautiful song.

    This is truly a beautiful song and very meaningful for anyone who has had their share of broken hearts and mistakes in life that took us off God's path. This is a remake of an original acoustic recording by the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. Check that version out also. I actually prefer the original (in a key more people can sing).
