\nAmerica set out on a narrow way many centuries ago
\nHoping it would find its true self along what turned out to be a broken road
\nIt got lost a time or two, wiped its brow, just kept pushing through
\nIt couldn’t see how every sign pointed straight to here and this hullabaloo<\/p>\n
Every long dream of ours led us to where we are
\nOthers broke its heart, but they were just north stars
\nPointing others along their way into its loving arms
\nThis much I know is true
\nThat God still blesses this broken road that leads them straight to the red, white and blue<\/p>\n
I think about the years we spent just toiling and pushing through
\nWe always find a way to get what was lost and give it back to the red, white and blue
\nSo just smile and grab our hand, we’ve been there, you understand
\nAmerica\u2019s all part of a greater plan that forever is becoming true<\/p>\n
Every long dream of ours led us to where we are
\nOthers broke its heart, but they were just north stars
\nPointing others on their way into its loving arms
\nThis much I know is true
\nThat God still blesses this broken road that leads them straight to the red, white and blue<\/p>\n
Now let\u2019s watch them just a\u2019running home into its loving arms
\nThis much I know, I know is true
\nOh, God still blesses this broken road that leads them straight to the red, white and blue
\nOh, God still blesses this broken road that leads them straight to the red, white and blue
\nGod still blesses this broken road that leads them straight to the red, white and blue<\/p>\n
Hat tip to the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band.<\/p>\n
