Would you believe me if I told you
That a sunbeam tapped my shoulder?
And she told me what my life would be
She terrified me, and she set me free
I’ve never been so scared in my whole life
And I couldn’t believe my eyes
It was so beautiful, beautiful
I’ve never been so sure of what was right
And though it left me trembling inside
It was my beautiful, beautiful life
Would you go with me on a reckless journey?
Down this highway, we don’t know where it leads
The wind propels us, tears make the pavement slick
And there is always this unbelievable sunset
I’ve never been so scared in my whole life
And I can’t believe my eyes
It’s just so beautiful, beautiful
I’ve never been so sure of what is right
And though it keeps me trembling inside
This is my beautiful, beautiful life
At the end of all this, will we know why?
At the end of everything, will it matter if we got any of it right?
All I know is this road has a voice
And it’s calling me to make a choice
I want this life, and I want you by my side
I’ve never been so scared in my whole life
And I can’t believe my eyes
It’s just so beautiful, beautiful
I’ve never been so sure of what is right
And though it keeps me trembling inside
This is my beautiful, beautiful life
Beautiful, beautiful life
It’s just so beautiful, beautiful
