The Long Drive Home Verse 1 I laughed along at a Grapevine joke, Everybody knows the line. “The Steps save us from ourselves…” We smiled and called it fine. Then one more sentence found its mark, It lingered in the air. Funny things can carry truth We’re not prepared to hear. Pre-Chorus Long Road, Big Thoughts I headed north with restless thoughts, A storm beneath the sky. The road was straight, My heart was not— And anger rode beside. Chorus How I talk to myself Becomes how I see you. Negative for positive— I’m learning something new. A Power greater than my fear Keeps changing what I do. Love begins the moment I stop proving… And start listening, too. Verse 2 Years before, I found a path Long Road, Big Thoughts That opened something new. The first part taught me to love myself, Next taught us “we,” too. And ended up stretching my little world Far beyond my view. And trusting servants quietly asked, “Doesn’t every voice hold Truth?” Pre-Chorus The farther that highway ran, The lighter grew my load. Surrender wasn’t giving up— It changed the road. Chorus How I talk to myself Becomes how I see you. Negative for positive— A different point of view. A Power greater than my pride Keeps making all things new. Love begins the moment I stop proving… And start listening, too. Bridge Listen like I have no opinion. Leave a little room for Grace. Every soul has walked a road I never had to face. Service isn’t always easy. Sometimes it bends the heart. Yet that’s where understanding Quietly can start. Final Chorus How I talk to myself Shapes every word I say. Peace is built in little choices Made along the way. A Power greater than us all Keeps widening the view. The miracle was never winning— The miracle is Walking this road… With you. Outro The road goes on beyond the hill, Morning follows every night. One more mile, One more meeting, One more chance To choose the Light.
