Be still and go on to bed
Nobody knows what lies ahead
And 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,

Labour 'til the work is done

Be still, one day you'll leave

Fearlessness on your sleeve
And when you come back
Tell me, what did you see? (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 scheme
When they knock you down
When they knock you down


Don't break character, you've got so much heart
Is this real of just a dream?

Oh, rise up like the sun and labour 'til the work is done
Rise up like the sun and labour 'til the work is
Rise up like the sun and labour 'til the work is done
