Bless the Broke Road

"Claire, I just heard one of our fellow castaways singing a song. It was called Bless the Broken Road." Charlie announced as he walked up to Claire and Aaron's shelter. "You did?" Claire asked as she held a very fussy Aaron in her arms and tried to calm him down.

"Yes, I did and it describes my feelings for you perfectly." Charlie answered. "Really?" Claire asked in surprise. "Yeah, here I'll sing it for you. It will tell you how I feel about you and maybe calm Aaron down to. You know kill two birds with one song." Charlie said sitting down and began tuning his guitar.

"I think you mean two birds with one song." Claire smiled. "Well normally yeah, but in this case it's one song." Charlie grinned back and began the song.

"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 me straight to you. 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.

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." Charlie sang and looked up to see Claire smiling at him and the fact that Aaron had quite fussing. "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.

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.

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." Charlie finished quietly having looked up and seen that Aaron was asleep in Claire's arms. "That was definitely a blessed road." Claire agreed her eyes shining with love as she leaned forward and kissed Charlie.
