Be Still - The Killers

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 beast.

Be 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 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 sleeves.
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.
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.

Over rock and chain.

Over sunset plain.
Over trap and snare.
When you’re in too deep.
In your wildness dream,
in your made up schemes.
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...
