The road is long and winding
With stones that cut our feet
But every step toward healing
Makes broken families complete
We start by speaking truthfully
Though truth may burn like fire
For honesty's the foundation
That lifts our families higher
Then comes accountability
To own the hurt we've caused
Not making weak excuses
But giving honest pause
And finally, forgiveness
Not earned but freely given
That opens up the doorway
To see what love has written
The road is long and winding
But worth each painful mile
For at the end awaits us
Our family's restored smile
