Lyrics
Be Still
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Be still, 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
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 sleeve
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 what's in your
Blood
Over rock, over chain, over trap, over plain
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 wildest dreams, 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?
Rise up like the Sun, and labor till the work is done
