All My Roads (Wiley/Bear/Mahmoud) (Extended 1)

INTRO — Whispered, Intimate

O you, whose love has crowned me

Yet brought me to my knees

How can a heart feel so unworthy

Of the gift that sets it free?

I have wandered through the questions

I have searched beyond the blue

If my heart was made to find you

Show me the way to you

VERSE 1

You gave me honor without asking

You gave me grace I couldn't earn

You left a thousand doors before me

And a thousand lessons left to learn

I wore my pride like royal armor

Till your kindness broke it through

Now I stand without a kingdom

With a heart that reaches you

PRE-CHORUS

And I don't need the world to tell me

What my restless spirit knows

Somewhere in the deepest silence

There's a road my heart must follow

CHORUS — Powerful, Emotional

Show me the way to you

When every road divides in two

When I lose the words to say

Be the light that guides my way

You have raised me, you have humbled me

Made me more than I could see

If there's one truth I can hold on to

Let my heart find the way to you

Oh, the way to you

All my roads lead back to you

VERSE 2

There's a hand behind the curtain

There's a truth I cannot name

I keep meeting my own questions

Like old strangers once again

Why do I return to searching?

Why does certainty feel new?

Maybe growing means accepting

There are things we pass right through

And the love that came before me

Lives in stories, blood, and name

May its blessings reach the children

Who will carry on the flame

PRE-CHORUS — Building

I have carried generations

In the echoes of my name

Every soul before my footsteps

Left a mark I can't explain

So I'll honor what they gave me

And be worthy of what's true

Let the goodness travel onward

In everything I do

CHORUS — Bigger, Full Drums and Strings

Show me the way

VERSE 3 — Warm, Tender, Building

There were mornings I woke aching

For a sign I couldn't see

Then a stranger's simple kindness

Set a gentler song in me

I have knelt beside the weary

I have held a shaking hand

And I found you in the faces

Of the ones who understand

So I'll gather up the small things

Every prayer that someone prayed

All the quiet acts of mercy

That no record ever made

PRE-CHORUS — Rising Strings, Gentle Drums

And I don't need a voice from heaven

Not a marvel in the sky

Just a heart that keeps on choosing

What is honest, what is kind

Let me listen, let me listen

To the call beneath my fear

Every day a new beginning

Every breath a chance to hear

CHORUS — Lifted, Choir Joining

Show me the way to you

In the ordinary hours

When my strength is thin and few

Be the courage in my power

You have carried me, and called me

Through the valleys I have known

If there's one thing I can offer

Let it be the love I've grown

Oh, the way to you

Every road I walk is true

POST-CHORUS

Oh-oh, the way to you

(Show me the way)

Oh-oh, the way to you

(Every day)

VERSE 4 — Intimate, Then Swelling

There's a table set for all of us

There's a seat that bears my name

And the ones I thought I'd lost along the way

Are walking just the same

I have questioned, I have doubted

I have shouted at the sea

But the love that I was reaching for

Was always reaching me

So I'll lay down my defenses

I'll unclench my tired hands

Let the mystery be holy

Let me trust what I can't plan

PRE-CHORUS — Crescendo, Full Orchestra

And the stars that watched my fathers

Watch the children yet to come

Every heartbeat is a promise

Every ending is a dawn

So I'll sing into the silence

Let my trembling voice be heard

I am small, and I am certain

That I'm held in every word

BRIDGE 2 — Piano and Choir, Deepening

When the road bends into shadow

And the answers slip away

Let me hold to what is gentle

Let me love you through the gray

For the hands that once held mine

And the hands I've yet to hold

Let me pass along the mercy

Let me make the brave and bold

If the future asks me questions

That my heart cannot yet bear

Give me patience for the asking

Give me courage for the care

INSTRUMENTAL BREAK — Orchestra Swelling, Wordless Choir

FINAL CHORUS — Anthemic, Explosive, Full Choir

SHOW ME THE WAY TO YOU!

Through the joy and through the sorrow

Through the now and through the new

Let me wake and keep on walking

Let me keep on walking true

You have shaped me, you have loved me

Made me softer than I knew

Through the years that lie before me

Let my heart stay close to you

Show me the way to you

Every day a promise new

I may never see the whole road

But I'll walk it seeking you

OUTRO — Soft Piano, Fading Choir, Gentle Reprise

O you, whose love has found me

In the quiet and the blue

Keep me humble, keep me grateful

As I find my way to you

My way to you...

The way to you...

(My way to you)

The way to you...
