Lyrics to 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
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
We’ll all lay down what burdens us now
In the great wide open so free
You'll pay off your earthly ransom
Learn to extend your hand some
There'll be plenty of stalls at the shopping mall and never a line to stand in
For the first time, you're gonna feel ageless
Like a novel in its final pages
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 the little old life and allow me to be reunited
Meet me in the great wide open
Where the milk and honey pour free
We'll all lay down what burdens us now
In the great wide open so free
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
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
We’ll all lay down what burdens us now
In the great wide open so free
You'll pay off your earthly ransom
Learn to extend your hand some
There'll be plenty of stalls at the shopping mall and never a line to stand in
For the first time, you're gonna feel ageless
Like a novel in its final pages
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 the little old life and allow me to be reunited
Meet me in the great wide open
Where the milk and honey pour free
We'll all lay down what burdens us now
In the great wide open so free
