May the Road Rise to Meet You

Summertime the sun would shine

We’d lay out in the field

Sheltered in the shadow of a tree

We’d write our songs to take along

And sing out on the road

And you would always sing this song to me

May the road rise to meet you

May the wind be at your back

May the sun shine down warm upon your land

May the rain fall soft upon your face

Until we meet again

May God hold you in the hollow of His hand

Autumn leaves would leave the trees

In colors on the ground

Swirling patterns beautiful to see

I’d lay my head down on your lap

I would not make a sound

And you would always sing this song to me

May the road rise to meet you

May the wind be at your back

May the sun shine down warm upon your land

May the rain fall soft upon your face

Until we meet again

May God hold you in the hollow of His hand

Through winter days the trees

Would shiver in the wind

Waiting for the warming touch of spring

You'd hold me in the firelight

We’d stare into the flames

And this is what you always used to sing

May the road rise to meet you

May the wind be at your back

May the sun shine down warm upon your land

May the rain fall soft upon your face

Until we meet again

May God hold you in the hollow of His hand

May God hold you in the hollow of His hand
