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 besides 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 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 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"
