Be Still

Be still and go on to bed
Nobody knows what lies ahead
And life is short to say the least
We're in the belly of the beast.

Be still
Wild and young
Long may your innocence reign
Like shells on the shore
And may your limits be unknown
May your efforts be your own
If you ever feel you can't take it anymore.

Don't break character
You've got a lot of heart
Is this real or just a dream?
Rise up like the sun
Labor 'till the work is done.

Be still
One day you'll leave
Fearlessness on your sleeves
When you come back
Tell me what did you see?
(What did you see?)
Was there something out there for me?

Be still
Close your eyes
Soon enough you'll be on your own
Steady and straight
And if they drag you through the mud
It doesn't change whats in your blood
(Over chains)
Over chains
When they knock you down.

Don't break character
You've got a lot of heart
Is this real or just a dream
Be still
Be still
Be still
Be still.

Over rock and chain
Over sunset plain
Over trap and snare
When you're in too deep
In your wildness dream
In your made up schemes
When they knock you down
When they knock you down.

Don't break character
You've got so much heart
Is this real or just a dream
Oh rise up like the sun and labor till the work is done
Rise up like the sun and labor till the work is
Rise up like the sun and labor till the work is done.
