Be still and 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 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 'til the work is done
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)
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, be still
Be still, be still
Over rock and chain, over sunset plain
Over trap and snare, when you're in too deep
In your wildest dream, in your made up schemes
When they knock you down, 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 'til the work is done
Rise up like the Sun and labor 'til the work is
Rise up like the Sun and labor 'til the work is done
