Off the beaten path,
Tranquility can be found;
Deep inside is a quiet peace,
With no loud noises -- no sound.

I can contemplate God's love,
And think about His wrath;
When I find a quiet spot,
That's off the beaten path.

The beaten path can lead to riches,
It can lead to fortune and fame;
But when off the beaten path,
I find joy in my Savior's name.

My life is filled with riches of family,
I am famous in my children's eyes;
My grandchildren think I'm smart,
Great-grandchildren find me wise.
