Grateful Roads1

Verse

I’ve walked these roads through dust and rain,

Carried the sunlight, carried the pain.

Mountains rose and rivers ran wide,

Each turn a lesson, a tender guide.

Pre-chorus

Now the evening paints the fields in gold,

I whisper thanks for the stories told.

Chorus

Grateful roads, you led me through,

Every heartache, every view.

From the hands I held to skies so blue,

Grateful roads, I’m part of you.

Verse

Faces I loved drifted out of sight,

Dreams grew older with the fading light.

Yet in my chest a soft wind stays,

Carrying echoes of brighter days.

Pre-chorus

And as the twilight folds into night,

I bow to the path in the fading light.

Chorus

Grateful roads, you led me through,

Every heartache, every view.

From the hands I held to skies so blue,

Grateful roads, I’m part of you.

Bridge

If there’s a gate beyond the hill,

I’ll walk on softly, my heart is still.

For every goodbye carved something true,

Each ending whispered, “I carried you.”

Outro

Grateful roads, you led me through,

Every heartache, every view.

From the hands I held to skies so blue,

Grateful roads, I’m part of you.
