[Intro]
On this long winding road, under the fading sun
Stories of healing, of battles won
A tales whispered softly, in the evening air
Of a man and his faithful dog, who found their prayer
[Verse 1]
There was a time I wore my heart out on my sleeve
Gave my best to those who’d never believe
Bled till I was breaking, more than I could share
Learning folks only love when you’re always there
Every scar’s a lesson, deep beneath my skin
Each road I traveled, where I’d been
Hard days made me stronger, I knew it true
Turns out losing’s just leading to what's new
[Chorus]
Cause once a man heals, he stops looking behind
He leaves old ghosts and regrets trapped in time
With both hands on the wheel, mountains in sight
Thanking every dark road that led to the light
Once a man heals, he’s no longer for revenge
Success in the softly spoken words he sends
The world keeps turning, now he understands
A healed-up man, with a firm, steady stand
[Final Chorus]
Once a man heals, he stops looking behind
He leaves old ghosts and regrets trapped in time
With both hands on the wheel, mountains in sight
Thanking every dark road that led to the light
Once a man heals, he’s no longer for revenge
Success in the softly spoken words he sends
The world keeps turning, now he understands
A healed-up man, with a firm, steady stand
[Outro]
With a good dog beside him, watching the view
Sunset paints the sky, in a fiery hue
He finally found peace, on this familiar strand
Every lesson learned, every broken band
Long white line fading into the night
One faithful dog walking by his side
And once a man heals, he finally understands…
[Legacy]
The best chapters of his story, never in the plan, but close enough to understand.
