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
