You Paved the Way

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Growing up, the road was rough and cold But somebody kept me on the path of gold Every morning walking me to school Whispering "little one, you're worth more than they know" A steady hand when the world felt low [Chorus] Oh, my brother, you carried me through Taught me courage, taught me what's true A guiding light when I couldn't see You gave me strength, you gave me me That's the love that set me free [Verse 2] You dropped me off at that college door Hugged me tight, said "go on, chase something more" Behind the wheel you sat by my side Patient words, my very first guide Every good advice still lives inside [Chorus] Oh, Lenny Weston, you carried me through Taught me courage, taught me what's true A guiding light when I couldn't see You gave me strength, you gave me me That's the love that set me free [Bridge] No streets could steal what you defend My biggest cheer, my truest friend A legacy that never ends [Verse 3] Lenny, this one's just to let you know Everything I am, I owe you so The man I've grown to be today Is standing 'cause you paved the way Big brother, forever I'll stay [Chorus] Oh, Lenny Weston, you carried me through Taught me courage, taught me what's true A guiding light when I couldn't see You gave me strength, you gave me me That's the love that set me free [Outro] So here's my heart, my humble song For the one who kept me strong Big brother, you'll always belong
