THE ROAD
WILL SING.

I have carried many seasons
In the pockets of my soul
Some were heavy as the weather
Some were brighter than I know

I have been a man of questions
I have been a man of rain
But every mile that tried to break me
Left a rhythm in my name

Now I don’t curse the winding
I don’t fear the evening sky
Every road that brought me here
Had a reason passing by

And the road will sing
Long after I have gone
In the dust, in the rain
In the heart of every song

The road will sing
What my voice once tried to say
Every step, every scar
Every love along the way

The road will sing
And I’ll be okay

There were hands that held me steady
There were nights I walked alone
There were dreams I had to bury
There were seeds that still have grown

I have learned that life is wider
Than the things we understand
Some goodbyes become a doorway
Some lost ground becomes the land

So I bless the road behind me
And the road I cannot see
I have lived inside the music
And the music lives in me

And the road will sing
Long after I have gone
In the dust, in the rain
In the heart of every song

The road will sing
What my voice once tried to say
Every step, every scar
Every love along the way

The road will sing
And I’ll be okay

Let the bassline carry memory
Let the guitar carry truth
Let the drumbeat keep the footsteps
Of the man I was in youth

Let the years become the chorus
Let the silence find its place
I was here, I loved, I stumbled
I kept walking by grace

And the road will sing
Long after I have gone
In the dust, in the rain
In the heart of every song

The road will sing
What my voice once tried to say
Every step, every scar
Every love along the way

The road will sing
And I’ll be okay

When the night gets quiet
When the days take wing
Listen down the road
And the road will sing
