Great Wide Open

I hope you forget me in Heaven

I pray it's just that peaceful

That you stop looking down through the holes in the clouds

And keep on baskin' in healing

'Cause that could be the only trade

For all these things I'm missing

And we'll catch up when the world blows up

In the land of no contrition

Meet me in the great wide open

Where the milk and honey pour free

And we'll all lay down what burdens us now

In the great wide open, so free

And you'll pay off your earthly ransom

Learn to extend your hand some

And there'll be plenty of stalls in the shopping mall

And never a line to stand in

And for the first time, you're gonna feel ageless

Like a novel in its final pages

And you'll have full bars when you're next to the stars

And finally feel what grace is

So rush me to the great white yonder

Black out the sin and sonder

Turn out the light on this little old life

And allow me to be reunited

And meet me in the great wide open

Where the milk and honey pour free

And we'll all lay down what burdens us now

In the great wide open, so free

Meet me in the great wide open

Where the milk and honey pour free

And we'll all lay down what we're going through now

In the great wide open, so free

In the great wide open, so free

In the great wide open, so free

Great wide open, so free
