When The Road Bends

Intro

Mm-hmm

Oh-oh

Eh-eh

(Mm-hmm)

Verse 1

I woke up with a quiet kind of joy today

Sun on my face like a blessing I did not earn

My mother's voice still lives inside my head

She said the river knows the way

So I let it turn

Pre-Chorus

And when the road bends low

I remember what I know

Every scar becomes a story that I hold

So I hold it close

Chorus

Everything in life is sweet and bitter both

I carry joy I carry sorrow in the same coat

Every little moment is a gift I never chose

And still I say thank you thank you thank you

Post-Chorus

Eh-eh oh-oh

Say thank you thank you

Eh-eh oh-oh

Say thank you

Verse 2

My brother called me from a thousand miles away

Said money comes and money goes but family stays

We laughed until the morning washed the night away

That is the wealth no one can take

Pre-Chorus

So when the road bends low

I remember what I know

Every wound becomes a window I can open

So I open it

Chorus

Everything in life is sweet and bitter both

I carry joy I carry sorrow in the same coat

Every little moment is a gift I never chose

And still I say thank you thank you thank you

Post-Chorus

Eh-eh oh-oh

Say thank you thank you

Eh-eh oh-oh

Say thank you

Verse 3

Some days I rise some days I stumble slow

Some nights I question everything I think I know

But love keeps calling me back home

Love keeps calling me back home

So I go

Bridge

Na so life be my people

We laugh we cry we grow

Na so life be my people

We rise we fall we glow

Forgive the ones who hurt you

Forgive yourself the most

For everything is moving

And nothing is truly lost

Chorus

Everything in life is sweet and bitter both

I carry joy I carry sorrow in the same coat

Every little moment is a gift I never chose

And still I say thank you thank you thank you

Final Refrain

Oh-oh we say thank you

Eh-eh we say thank you

Oh-oh we say thank you

For the sun and the rain and the love and the pain

We say thank you thank you

Outro

Mm-hmm

Na so life be

Oh-oh

Thank you
