Somewhere down below the calm of the surface white-hot reason burns an open road,
Like the hammer to the iron from the furnace, I'll let it take me, I'll let it shape me.

And then I hear the voice of God in time to walk away.

It's beautiful once you're out here, just get in the car and drive,
Start with open eyes, follow with a step outside,
It's beautiful once you're out here.

I saw him standing just outside in the background,
Living evil in a human form,
The source of every bitter twist, every nightmare,
Within my reach, if I could...I could just reach him.

But then I heard the voice of God: "Just turn and walk away."

It's beautiful once you're out here, just get in the car and drive,
Start with open eyes, follow with a step outside,
It's beautiful once you're out here.

All your burdens weigh you down,
There's dignity, there is release, in standing on your feet and screaming, "I'm letting go."

Let it go.

If you should hear the voice of God in time to walk away...

It's beautiful once you're out here, just get in the car and drive,
Start with open eyes, follow with a step outside,
It's beautiful once you're out here,
Your life is waiting, just get in the car and drive,
It's beautiful once you're out here,
It's beautiful once you're out here.
