Phil Spillman - The Detour Lyrics

It's not where I was going
But it's sure where I ended up
They say change is you simply growing
And surviving is hard work with a little luck

See I had me a destination
A direction that I thought was sure
But as I kiss you, under the porch light
I thank God for the detour

It's not where I was going
Cause' I knew my way, so I thought
But then my map got stolen
And I had missed my one shot

For love was my destination
A direction that I thought was sure
But as we dance, with no music on
I thank God for the detour

Bridge
As the good book reads
We can't direct our own step
And our best laid plans
Can be the ones that make us trip
Oh Lord, please grant me
A willing heart and an open mind
Help me always to see
When you give me a sign

It's not where I was going
But I'm sure glad it's where I am
The scenic route was a little slower
But this view sure looks good in the end

Now I've got me a destination
A promise for better or worse
And as we swear, forever today
I thank God for the detour

And as we dance, with all eyes on us
I thank God for the detour
