Be still

up on the altar
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've been waiting for this moment for too long

my mama said
keep moving
though you're down you're gonna rise again
come on darling
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 got a 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

my mama said
keep moving
though you're down you're gonna rise again
come on darling
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

my mama said
keep moving
though you're down you're gonna rise again
come on darling
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
