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

[Solo]


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'
