Andrew Peterson Many Roads lyrics

If you'll step inside this great glass elevator
It'll take us up above the city lights
To where the planet curves away to the equator
I wanna show you something fine

You can see the roads that we all traveled just to get here
A million minuscule decisions in a line
Why they brought us to this moment isn't clear
But that's all right, we've got all night

Well, could it be that the many roads you took to get here
Were just for me to tell this story and for you to hear this song?
And your many hopes, and your many fears
Were meant to bring you here all along

So If you'll trust me with your time I'll spend it wisely
And I will sing to you with all I have to give
'Cause if you traveled all this way, then I will do my best to play
My biggest hits that don't exist

And if you'll lend to me your ear I'll sing 'em pretty
And I will never ever sing 'em out of tune
And I will not forget the words of any chorus, bridge or verse
I promise you


'Cause it could be that the many roads you took to get here
Were just for me to tell this story and for you to hear this song
And your many hopes, and your many fears
Were meant to bring you here all along

'Cause we got Benjamin to play that old piano
And if we're lucky, it's a little out of tune
We've got Andy on the guitar
'Cause I promised him some Texas barbecue, yeah

How I love to watch you listen to the music
'Cause you sing to me a music of your own
As I cast out all these lines, so afraid that I will find
I am alone, all alone

Well, could it be that the many roads I took to get here
Were just for me to hear that story and for you to sing that song?
And my many hopes, and my many fears
Were meant to bring me here all along

We were meant to be right here all along
