﻿ 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

//[Chorus:]// 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

//[Chorus:]// 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 rollin' home into my lover's arms This much I know is true That God blessed the broken road that led me straight to you

The song is about a guy whose life has been horrible and he wants to make it better. He has a girlfriend and he thinks she will reject him for what he has done but she understands that people make mistakes and that he is a better man now. The significance of the title is that the broken road is his life and he praises it for what it has taught him. The singer of the band is trying to make the point that if you make a mistake, it builds to the person God created.
