The Open Road

Packing up - grooving - Getting ready to go on a trip to Arizona...packing up extra The car is moving and we are doing our thing I'm sitting in the back of the caravan, waiting for mama Waiting patiently - improving - Getting ready to go on a trip to Arizona...driving in awe The car bumps and the ride is smoothing I'm sitting here without a trace of fear, mesmerized by what I saw There's a bump in the road And I need your abode There's a bump in the road And I need to sing this ode We are driving down the open road We are driving into His lovely abode The open road to Arizona is where we are going...God is all-knowing The wind is blowing and the sun is glowing...my sunlit smile is showing But, for now, it is gloomy... For now, the car is somewhat roomy I'm sitting down with blankets on my lap And with a dog staring at me in the background without a care We are leaving soon...maybe in a snap! And we move along with some commotion and sound here and there Happiness and gladness is along the open road I've been told that the princess kissed the toad Hopefulness and mindfulness is along the open road Joyfully, we are singing our road ode...our road ode! The ground is shaking Below my feet and bottom The sun is awakening, Shaking off the feelings of numb You're driving me crazy on the open road I'm discovering your awesome, mysterious code Moving on along the road to paradise But, paradise has its expensive price However, the open road is free with freedom We are awaiting God's glorious, gracious Kingdom
