Learn to Be Still

It's just another day in paradise
As you stumble to your bed
You'd give anything to silence
Those voices ringing in your head

You thought you could find happiness
Just over that green hill
You thought you could be satisfied
But you never will

Learn to be still

We're like sheep without a shepherd
We don't know how to be alone
So we wander around this desert
And wind up following the wrong gods home

But the flock cries out for another
And they keep answering that bell
One more starry-eyed messiah
Meets a violent farewell

Learn to be still

Learn to be still

And all the flowers in your garden
Well, they don't smell so sweet, so sweet
And maybe you've forgotten
That heaven lying at your feet, hmm-mm

There are so many contradictions
In all these messages we send
We keep asking, "How do I get out of here?"
And where do I fit in?

For the world is torn and shaken
Even if your heart is breaking
It's waiting for you to awaken
And someday you will

Learn to be still

You just keep on running

You just keep on running
