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
