[INTRO – SPOKEN] [BUBBA] Sometimes you can see where you’ve been… but you can’t see where you’re going. [DARLENE] That’s when faith matters most. [BUBBA] I reckon that’s what I’m learning. [HARMONICA – slow, haunting blues phrase] [VERSE 1 – BUBBA] There’s a fog down on the mountain, Can’t see the road ahead, I’ve got questions in my heart And things I should have said. The old road lies behind me, The new road isn’t clear, But somehow I keep walking Because I know the Lord is near. [VERSE 2 – DARLENE] You don’t have to see the whole road, You only need the next step. You don’t have to know the answer, You only need to trust Him yet. The morning may be cloudy, The night may hide the stars, But God can see the destination When you can’t see where you are. [CHORUS – BOTH] When I can’t see the road, I’ll trust the One who can. When I don’t know where I’m going, I’ll put my life in His hands. One step through the darkness, One prayer through the night, When I can’t see the road, I’ll follow the light. [YODEL – BUBBA] Yodel-ay-ee… Yodel-ay-oh… [DARLENE] Just keep walking. [YODEL – BUBBA] Yodel-ay-ee… Yodel-ay-ay… [VERSE 3 – BUBBA] I’ve walked through some valleys I never thought I’d see, I’ve carried my mistakes Like they were part of me. I’ve known the taste of sorrow, I’ve known the weight of shame, But every time I thought I was lost, The Lord still knew my name. [VERSE 4 – DARLENE] So don’t be afraid of silence, Don’t be afraid to pray. Sometimes God is working When you don’t hear Him say. The answer isn’t always A voice from up above, Sometimes it’s simply knowing You’re surrounded by His love. [HARMONICA SOLO – BUBBA] [OLD-TIME HARMONICA – SOULFUL AND PRAYERFUL] [BRIDGE – GOSPEL CALL & RESPONSE] [BUBBA] Lord, give me courage— [DARLENE] For the next step. [BUBBA] Give me patience— [DARLENE] For the next day. [BUBBA] Give me wisdom— [DARLENE] For the next choice. [BUBBA] And when I can’t hear You— [DARLENE] Listen with your heart. [BOTH] Faith don’t mean You know the road. Faith means You trust Who does. [VERSE 5 – BUBBA] I used to want the answers, I wanted every sign. I wanted God to tell me Exactly what was mine. But now I ask for courage To do what’s right today, And let tomorrow find me When tomorrow finds its way. [CHORUS – BOTH] When I can’t see the road, I’ll trust the One who can. When I don’t know where I’m going, I’ll put my life in His hands. One step through the darkness, One prayer through the night, When I can’t see the road, I’ll follow the light. [VERSE 6 – BOTH] [BUBBA] If the road gets rough— [DARLENE] Keep walking. [BUBBA] If the night gets long— [DARLENE] Keep praying. [BUBBA] If your heart gets tired— [DARLENE] Rest awhile. [BOTH] Then get back up And keep going. [FINAL CHORUS – FULL] When I can’t see the road, I’ll trust the One who can. When I don’t know where I’m going, I’ll put my life in His hands. One step through the darkness, One prayer through the night, When I can’t see the road, I’ll follow the light. And if tomorrow’s hidden, That’s all right with me. I’ve got grace for today, And that’s enough for me. I don’t need to see forever, I just need to see tonight. When I can’t see the road, I’ll follow the light. [FINAL YODEL – BOTH] Yodel-ay-ee… Yodel-ay-oh… [BUBBA] Follow the light… [DARLENE] Follow the light… [BOTH] Yodel-ay-ee… Yodel-ay-ay… [OUTRO – SPOKEN] [BUBBA] Darlene? [DARLENE] Yes? [BUBBA] You know what I like about faith? [DARLENE] What’s that? [BUBBA] You don’t have to know where the road ends. [DARLENE] You just have to keep walking. [BUBBA] Well… I reckon that’s what we’ll do. [HARMONICA – final prayer-like phrase] [SFX: Fiddle softly fades into morning birds]
