Stay away from the highway
From the crowds on the road
From the engines of labour
From the strain of the load
Leave your burden behind you
With no cost or a toll
In the footsteps of freedom
Find rest for your soul
Look around at the crossroads
And then ask for the way
For the path of the ancients
That leads on to the day
Then turn aside to the footpath
To the way of the wise
Where the goal is the journey
Peace is the prize
And the years that were ravaged
And wasted in chains
I'll restore them completely
In a slow gentle rain
Because of My vindication
You'll forget all the shame
And when I turn round your fortunes
You'll worship My name
Stay away from the highway
From the crowds on the road
From the engines of labor
From the strain of the load
Turn aside to the footpath
To the way of the wise
Where the goal is the journey
Peace is the prize
The goal is the journey
Peace is the prize
