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 would be satisfied
But you never will-
Learn to be still

We are like sheep without a shepherd
We don't know how to be alone

So we wander 'round this desert
And wind up following the wrong gods home

But the flock cries out for another
And they keep answering that bell

And one more starry-eyed messiah
Meets a violent farewell-
Learn to be still
Learn to be still

Now the flowers in your garden
They don't smell so sweet

Maybe you've forgotten
The heaven lying at your feet


There are so many contridictions
In all these messages we send
(we keep asking)

How do I get out of here
Where do I fit in?

Though the world is torn and shaken
Even if your heart is breakin'

It's waiting for you to awaken
And someday you will-
Learn to be still
Learn to be still

You just keep on runnin'
Keep on runnin'
