“You Paved the Way” is a rousing anthem of gratitude and a song of appreciation perfect for a Veterans Day music tribute, or your Thanksgiving Day Playlist in the spirit of Ben Rector's The Thanksgiving Song. Paying tribute and homage to those builders, laborers, parents, teachers, leaders, and mentors who have led to a better world, t’s a big “Thank you” to creators, innovators, workers, and heroes-perfect for graduations, retirement parties, tributes, installations, and more. The powerful ballad provides music for grateful ones to honor and acknowledge mothers, fathers, pastors, friends, role-models, construction workers, servers, and all who inspire. Thanksgiving music for your family Thanksgiving dinner.
