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'
