Amy Grant's 'Every Road' reflects on the challenges and growth found in relationships, particularly a committed partnership. The song acknowledges the tendency to create obstacles and build walls, but emphasizes that every journey, whether easy or difficult, teaches something valuable. It speaks to the balance of holding on and letting go, and the resolve that love brings. The chorus affirms that despite moments of wanting to leave, every road ultimately leads back to the loved one. While not explicitly Christian, the themes of perseverance, love, and commitment align with Christian values, and the song can be interpreted as a metaphor for one's relationship with God.
Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
There you go making mountains
Out of such a little hill
Here I go mixing mortar
For another wall to build
There's a struggle in this life we lead
It's partly you
It's partly me (but)
[Chorus:]
Every Road that's traveled
Teaches something new
And every road that's narrow
Pushes us to choose
And I'd be lying if I said
I had not tried to leave a time or two
But every road that leads me
Leads me back to you
Here we stand in the middle
Of what we've come to know
It's a dance, it's a balance
Holding on and letting go
But there is nothing that we can't resolve
When love's at stake
When love's involved
[Chorus]
