Bless the Broken Road
Miley Cyrus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
many years ago.
hoping I would find true love along the broken road.
but I got lost a time or two,
wiped my brow and kept pushing through,
I couldn't see how every sign pointed straight to you.
every long lost dream,
others who broke my heart,
they were like northern stars,
pointing my on my way,
into you're loving arms.
this much I know is true,
that god blessed the broken road,
that lead me straight to you.
yes he did.
I think about the years I spent,
just passing through,
I'd like to have the time I lost,
and give it back to you,
oh, but you just smile and take my hand,
you've been there, you understand,
its all part of a grander plan that is coming true.
every long lost dream,
lead me to where you are.
others who broke my heart,
they were like northern stars,
pointing my on my way,
into you're loving arms.
this much I know is true,
that god blessed the broken road,
that lead me straight to you.
now I'm just rolling home,
into my lovers arms.
this much i know is true,
that god blessed the broken road,
that lead me straight to you.
that god blessed the broken road,
that lead me straight to you.
The lyrics of "Bless The Broken Road" by Miley Cyrus beautifully narrate a journey of self-discovery, resilience, and ultimately finding true love after overcoming obstacles and heartbreak. The singer reflects on embarking on a difficult path, filled with challenges and moments of doubt, in search of love. Despite getting lost and facing setbacks along the way, there is a sense of determination and perseverance in the pursuit of love, symbolized by the broken road that eventually leads to a significant other.
Throughout the song, there is a recurring theme of divine intervention and faith guiding the singer towards their destined love. The mention of every long-lost dream and every person who may have caused heartbreak being instrumental in leading the singer to their beloved signifies the belief that every experience, no matter how painful, serves a purpose in the greater scheme of things. The imagery of northern stars acting as guiding lights emphasizes the idea of fate and destiny playing a role in bringing two souls together.
As the lyrics progress, there is a sense of acceptance and gratitude for the journey that has led to the present moment of being in the arms of their loved one. The acknowledgment of lost time and the desire to make amends is met with understanding and compassion from the partner, reinforcing the idea that every trial and tribulation has contributed to the growth and eventual union of the couple. The notion of a "grander plan" suggests a belief in a higher power orchestrating the events in one's life for a greater purpose.
In the final verses, the singer exudes a sense of contentment and fulfillment upon being reunited with their beloved, underscoring the belief that the broken road, with all its twists and turns, was ultimately a blessing in disguise. The repetition of the line "that God blessed the broken road, that lead me straight to you" reinforces the central message of faith, resilience, and the power of love to conquer all obstacles. The song encapsulates a narrative of personal growth, redemption, and the transformative power of love that emerges from overcoming adversity.

I set out on a narrow way many years ago
Hoping I would find true love along the broken road
But I got lost a time or two
Wiped my brow and kept pushing through
I couldn't see how every sign pointed straight to you
[Chorus:]
Every long lost dream led me to where you are
Others who broke my heart they were like Northern stars
Pointing me on my way into your loving arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you
(Yes He did)
I think about the years I spent just passing through
I'd like to have the time I lost and give it back to you
But you just smile and take my hand
You've been there you understand
It's all part of a grander plan that is coming true.
[Chorus]
Yeah.
Now I'm just rolling home
Into my lover's arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you.
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you.
