May The Road Rise To Meet You Songtext / Lyric

Summertime - the sun would shine

We'd lay across the field

Sheltered in the shadow of a tree

We'd write our poems to take along

To 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 warm upon your land

May the rain fall soft upon your face until we meet again

May God hold you in the palm of His hand.



Autumn leaves would change our trees

To colors on the ground

Swirling patterns beautiful to see

I'd lay my head down on your lap

I wouldn't 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 warm upon your land

May the rain fall soft upon your face until we meet again

May God hold you in the palm of His hand.



Through the winter days our tree

Would shiver in the wind

Waiting for the warning touch of Spring

I'd hold you in the firelight-

We'd stare into the flame

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 warm upon your land

May the rain fall soft upon your face until we meet again

May God hold you in the palm of His hand.



May the road rise to meet you

May the wind be at your back

May the sun shine warm upon your land

May the rain fall soft upon your face until we meet again

May God hold you in the palm of His hand.
