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

(Chorus)
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 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.”

(Chorus)

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

(Chorus)

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
