The Lyrics
This isn't the road I would've drawn
Half my plans fell through and the map was wrong
Doors I prayed open stayed shut tight
And I couldn't tell the wrong turns from the right
But lookin' back now, I can finally see
Every closed door was You redirectin' me
What looked like a detour was the way
The long road home that led me all the same
Not one wrong turn was wasted or in vain
You were leadin' me home, even through the rain
The job I lost, the love that walked away
The dream that died, I thought I'd missed my day
But every "no" was clearin' out the road
For a "yes" I couldn't see from where I stood
So I'll stop callin' it a wrong way gone
'Cause You don't lose the ones You're leadin' on
What looked like a detour was the way
The long road home that led me all the same
Not one wrong turn was wasted or in vain
You were leadin' me home, even through the rain
You waste nothin, You forget no one
Every step a part of the plan all along
Even the wanderin, even the wait
You were never lost, and neither was I
What looked like a detour
Was You, leadin' me home.
