Daniel Lanois - Be Still lyrics

[Verse 1] Be still Go on to bed Nobody knows what lies ahead 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 a shore May your limits be unknown May your efforts be your own If you ever feel you can't take it anymore [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] Be still One day you'll lead Fearlessness on your sleeve When you come back, tell me 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 When they knock you down [Chorus] [Bridge] Over rock and chain Over sunset plane 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 [Chorus]
