The Camino Will Provide

The Camino Will Provide

We came from different worlds

With different kinds of pain

Two hearts that had been dying

Trying to live again

So far away from everything

That either of us knew

I thought I’d come to walk

I didn’t know I’d come to find you

They say the Camino will provide

Give you what you need

I thought that meant some kind of healing

Some peace I’d find inside

But then I met you in Orisson

And something opened up wide

I went there searching for myself

And the Camino did provide

Chorus

The Camino will provide

That’s what everybody said

I thought it meant the road beneath me

Or finding peace inside

But of all the things that road could give me

There was nothing quite like you

I walked all that way looking for healing

And the Camino gave me you

What were the chances we’d both be there

So very far from home?

We had spent our lives longing to be known

We both needed to be truly seen

And loved for who we are

You somehow opened up my heart

As we laughed in a Spanish bar

Every word you said to me

Was a healing balm

You touched the places deep inside

That were empty for so long

Chorus

The Camino will provide

Now I know what those words mean

Everything I ever wanted

And things I’d never seen

Were walking on that road beside me

Because the Camino gave me you

You’re open, warm and loving

Wild, authentic, and tender too

Generous and romantic

There is no one quite like you

One word from you can reach my soul

One look can set me free

You’re so easy on my eyes, baby

And you set my passion free

Bridge

We both have many years behind us

Of love we never got to give

Maybe we had to travel that far

To find a life that we could still live

For the years that we have left

I want a lot more time with you

I want to give you all the love

And passion that you’ve missed

A thousand mornings waking up

And a thousand more with your kiss

Final Chorus

The Camino will provide

Now I finally understand

Sometimes what you need is waiting

In the touch of someone’s hand

I knew I went to Spain

To find some kind of healing

But I didn’t know it would come to me

As this passionate kind of feeling

Until the Camino gave me you

Two broken hearts from different worlds

Somehow found their way

And if I had to walk again

I’d walk every single mile

Just to grab you in my arms

And see your magical smile

The Camino did provide

It gave me just what I needed

It gave me you
