Be Still

Up upon the alter of sacrifice

Can’t get in the habit of thinking twice

Lit up my heart in a funeral blaze

Gotta live for something beside yesterdays

I been waiting for this moment for too long

My mama said:

Keep moving

Though you’re down, you’re gonna rise again

Come on darlin', don't get in your head

You know you know the wheel’s still in spin

Even though your heart is breaking

And the changes all keep changing

You be still

You can try me to kingdom come

I gotta heart like a beating drum

I see hot summer lightning

Hear the crack in the sky

Jump outta the trench boys, we were born to die

I’ve been waiting for this moment for too long

Come on darlin', don't get in your head

You know you know the wheel’s still in spin

Even though your heart is breaking

And the changes all keep changing

You be still
