[Instrumental intro] [Verse 1 - Bubba MALE] At the crossroads by the mill road He could list what might go wrong If he stayed he'd wish he'd traveled If he left he'd miss his home Then she asked what do you know now What can wait and what needs care Some decisions need good counsel Not another night of fear [Chorus - Bubba and Darlene FEMALE harmony] Every road has a what if Every step has ground to learn We can pray and check the signposts We can stop and make a turn We don't need a perfect promise For a choice that's kind and wise Every road has a what if Let grace ride [Verse 2 - Darlene FEMALE] He called someone he could trust there Wrote the costs down on a page Made the choice with what he knew then Didn't call it fate or shame Some days brought a new direction Some days brought a lesson home All the doubt was not a verdict He could learn as he went on [Chorus - duet] Every road has a what if Every step has ground to learn We can pray and check the signposts We can stop and make a turn We don't need a perfect promise For a choice that's kind and wise Every road has a what if Let grace ride [Instrumental solo and break] [Bridge - intimate then build] Lord, give wisdom for the choosing Give me mercy when I miss Help me meet the road before me With the honest light I get [Final chorus - full duet] Every road has a what if Every step has ground to learn We can pray and check the signposts We can stop and make a turn We don't need a perfect promise For a choice that's kind and wise Every road has a what if Let grace ride [Outro - resolve naturally] Every Road Has a What If [Instrumental ending]
