Bless the Broken Road

January 20, 2007

I just want to share three of Rascal Flatts great songs. Look at how the lyrics are conceptualized. I don't know what's in them that separates them from the others.

Great!

"Bless The Broken Road"

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

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

Now I'm just rolling home
Into my lover's arms
This much I know is 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.

"What Hurts the Most"

I can take the rain on the roof of this empty house, that don't bother meI can take a few tears now and then and just let them outI'm not afraid to cryEvery once in a while even though goin on with you gone still upsets meThere are daysEvery now and again I pretend i'm okay but that's not what gets me

What hurts the most, was being so close and having so much to sayAnd watchin you walk awayNever knowing, what could have beenAnd not seein that lovin youIs what I was tryin to do

It's hard to deal with the pain of losing you everywhere I goBut i'm doin itIt's hard to force that smile when I see our old friends and i'm aloneStill harder gettin up, gettin dressed, livin with this regret

But I know if I could do it overI would trade, give away all the words that I saved in my heart that I left unspokenWhat hurts the most, is being so closeAnd having so much to sayAnd watchin you walk awayNever knowing, what could have beenAnd not seein that lovin youIs what I was tryin to do

What hurts the most, was being so closeAnd having so much to sayAnd watchin you walk awayAnd never knowing, what could have beenAnd not seein that lovin youIs what I was tryin to donot seein that lovin youthat's what I was tryin to do

"My Wish"

I hope that the days come easy and the moments pass slow,
And each road leads you where you want to go,
And if you're faced with a choice, and you have to choose,
I hope you choose the one that means the most to you.
And if one door opens to another door closed,
I hope you keep on walkin' till you find the window,
If it's cold outside, show the world the warmth of your smile,

But more than anything, more than anything,
My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to,
Your dreams stay big, and your worries stay small,
You never need to carry more than you can hold,
And while you're out there getting where you're getting to,
I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too,
Yeah, this, is my wish.

I hope you never look back, but ya never forget,
All the ones who love you, in the place you left,
I hope you always forgive, and you never regret,
And you help somebody every chance you get,
Oh, you find God's grace, in every mistake,
And you always give more than you take.

But more than anything, yeah, and more than anything,
My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to,
Your dreams stay big, and your worries stay small,
You never need to carry more than you can hold,
And while you're out there getting where you're getting to,
I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too,
Yeah, this, is my wish.
