(hmmmm) Five hundred miles of dust and clay
I wore the tread right off my shoes
But every time the sky turned gray
I found a path I didn't choose
And I was running low on faith
and dry on tears (ahhh)
But something steady held me
through the years
Oh, grace is a long,
winding road
It carries you home
when you carry the load
Through the valley and the pines
In its own sweet time (yeah)
Now the morning sun is breaking clean
Across the hills of faded green
I didn't make this march alone
Every stumble was a stepping stone
It carried me home (ooh,
sweet grace)
