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 beastBe still
Wild and young
Long may your innocence reign
Like shells on the shore
And may your limits be unknown
And may your efforts be your own
If you ever feel you can't take it anymoreDon'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 doneBe still
One day you'll leave
Fearlessness on your sleeve
When you've come back, tell me what did you see
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 chains, over chains, over ?, over ?)
When they knock you downDon't break character
You've got a lot of heart
Is this real or just a dream?
Be still
Be still
Be still
Be stillOver rock and chain
Over sunset plain
Over trap and snare
When you're in too deep
In your wildest dream
In your made up scheme
When they knock you down
When they knock you downDon'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
Rise up like the sun
Labor till the work is done
