Be Still - The Fray

Do you have to show up on every corner Won't the dancin' begin without you Do you have to put on your eyes for me Be still I love you Now be still We walked through space in the twilight hours But did you really see the starset In your restless eyes I found the city lights Be still I love you Now be still Be still I love you Be still I love you Be still I love you I still love you now be still I know the child that I am has hurt you And I was a woman when I made you cry But a little boy wants to dry your tears Be still I love you Come on now Be still I love you Be still I love you Be still I love you I still love you now be still I still love you Come on now be still

God, why am I so obsessed with me? Don't I proclaim that you're the only one I see? Don't I believe that your son, he set me free? Why do I challenge this path you set for me? Seems that we're adamant on chasing these dreams, Bent on the images from television screens Why do I hog all the blessings that you lent? Why can't I get myself to give more than ten percent? Job security, my business, my ministry, My own idea of what the church should be... how Did I get so jaded, so lost to the fact that I should keep my heart instead of yours, God? May I go where you go, hurt where your hurt, See what you see especially in the church Will I pray for just enough to get by Or will I be still and know that you're the God of my life As I'm sitting patiently waiting for the Lord to speak Wait a minute, to be honest, I'm too anxious to sit Be still and know that He is Lord My biggest struggle cuz all the time I'm taking matters into my own hands Like Abraham and Sarah, looking to Hagar to give birth in whats promised Relying on my own experience and logic Lord, the passion I had for you has turned to what I do My eyes are fixed upon the ministry instead of fixed on You Father, I used to sit in peace soaked in Your presence still and quiet Listening to Your voice that calmed the mental riots But now I'm fighting with my strength walking in Your calling Lord help me cuz my feet will always be 2 steps from falling I desire to be in Your secret dwelling places Take this ambitious drive inside of me and bless me with serenity That I may be weak in the presence of the Son of Man Strengthened by the peace that transcends all to understand Sometimes it's hard to see the bigger picture. It's hard to see that God is working on something within you. He promised that He had a perfect plan for me. He said I am highly favored and His masterpiece. So why do I sit here and mope? When I should be joyful and filled up with hope. oh But wait I see most of my friends chasing careers Determined to make a solid living in the next four years. It's surreal, I feel like I am falling behind. I don't see myself making 6 figures in my lifetime. My family urges me to be the provider. To be a wealthy businessman with a Benz as my ride. But no, I'm at a fork, I'm torn; God, what should I do? I don't wanna disappoint my parents or deny You. I know that in my weakness, Your power is perfected. I know that in my weakness, Your power is perfected.

Lord help me now to face this battle My strength has failed and my eyes can't see Through the waves of doubt that take me under In the chaos I hear you speak Be still and know that You are my God Be still and know that You are enough Though my heart is racing still You're in control Be still and know that You are my God You brought me rest in times of struggle I lay my head down at Your feet The storm in me that I can't wrestle Is calmed when I hear you speak You are faithful And Your love endures forever Yes, Your love endures forever You are able In You I'll stand forever Yes, in You I'll stand forever

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'

We're on an open-bed truck on the highway Rain is coming down and we're on the run Think I can feel the breath in your body We gotta keep on running 'til we see the sun Oh, you got a fire, and it's burning in the rain Thought that it went out, but it's burning just the same And you don't look back, not for anything 'Cause you love someone, you love 'em all the same If you love someone, you love 'em all the same Oh, I'm feeling your heartbeat And oh, you're coming around, coming around, coming around If you can love somebody, you love 'em all the same You gotta love somebody, love 'em all the same Singing, "Oh, I'm feeling your heartbeat" I'm trying to put it all back together I got a story, and I'm trying to tell it right I got the kerosene and the desire I'm trying to start a flame in the heart of the night Oh, you got a fire, and it's burning in the rain Thought that it went out, but it's burning just the same And you don't look back, not for anything 'Cause you love someone, you love 'em all the same If you love someone, you love 'em all the same Oh, I'm feeling your heartbeat And oh, you're coming around, coming around, coming around If you can love somebody, you love 'em all the same You gotta love somebody, love 'em all the same Singing, "Oh, I'm feeling your heartbeat" I know the memory is rushing into your mind I wanna kiss your scars tonight But baby, you gotta try, you gotta let me in Let me in, now Oh, I'm feeling your heartbeat And oh, you're coming around, coming around, coming around You gotta love somebody, you gotta You gotta love somebody, you gotta Singing, "Oh, I'm feeling your heartbeat" Oh, your heartbeat, yeah, yeah Oh, your heartbeat, yeah Oh, your heartbeat

Halfway around the world Lies the one thing that you want Buried in the ground, hundreds of miles down The first thing that arises in your mind while you awake Is bending you til you break Let me hold you now Baby close your eyes Don't open til the morning light Baby don't forget We haven't lost it all yet Don't know what your made of Til the one thing that you want Id coming with the dawn and suddenly changes Monday, syndicate meets everyone the same But all we've lost to the flame Listen to me now Baby close your eyes Don't open til the morning light Don't ever forget We haven't lost it all yet All we know for sure Is all that we are fighting for Baby don't forget We haven't lost it all yet Someday when this is over We may still have no answer For now it's when I hold her We are closer, we are closer We are closer, we are closer Baby close your eyes Don't open til the morning light Don't ever forget We haven't lost it all yet And all we know for sure Is all that we are fighting for Baby don't forget We haven't lost it all yet We are closer We are closer (We haven't lost it all yet) Now we are closer (We haven't lost it all yet) We are closer

Pack up I've strayed Enough Oh say Oh say say Oh say Oh say say say Oh say say say Wait, they don't love you like I love you Wait, they don't love you like I love you Maps... they don't love you like I love you Wait, they don't love you like I love you Made off Don't stray Well my kind's your kind I'll stay the same Pack up Do not stray Oh say say say Oh say say say Yeah Wait, they don't love you like I love you Wait, they don't love you like I love you Maps... they don't love you like I love you Wait, they don't love you like I love you They don't love you like I love you...

Wait, they don't love you like I love you

I know that it never goes away All I feel, everything I'm not today So I try and I try to make everything right I don't feel like I'm doing it, it affects me You wouldn't listen even if I told you Who the fuck am I to say? You're too busy with the lies they sold you Another cure to fix your day Open wide for all the shit they feed you While the TV defecates And blindly walk wherever they will lead you While the edges slowly Fray I know that everything can change What I need is to open up again So never again will I look back in vain Cause today's not the past I don't need to relive it You wouldn't listen even if I told you Who the fuck am I to say? You're too busy with the lies they sold you Another cure to fix your day Open wide for all the shit they feed you While your TV defecates And blindly walk wherever they will lead you While the edges slowly Fray Are you satisfied? I've given all I can And are you pacified Or do you want more from me? You wouldn't listen even if I told you Who the fuck am I to say? You're too busy with the lies they sold you Another cure to fix your day Open wide for all the shit they feed you While the TV defecates And blindly walk wherever they will lead you While the edges slowly Fray I've learned that this life's not just a game Just a line between the pleasures and the pain You wouldn't listen even if I told you Who the fuck am I to say? And you're too busy with the lies they sold you Another cure to fix your day Open wide for all the shit they feed you While the TV defecates And blindly walk wherever they will lead you While the edges slowly Fray

Home is where my head lays On this pillow on your chest Here is where my heart stays Even when it's not the best And I can see all of the lights And I can see the other sides And it's nice Mmm, it's nice I keep finding I keep finding something I keep finding all your corners I keep finding I keep finding something I keep finding all your corners It is nice Real close and personal It's a different point of view Every turn is critical Walking on the edge of you I can see all of the lights And I can see the other sides And it's nice Mmm, it's nice I keep finding I keep finding something I keep finding all your corners I keep finding I keep finding something I keep finding When everything you love goes bad You love until they love you back It doesn't matter what we said I'll never stop loving you back Never stop loving you I'm falling Ever since you came Are you all in? Or have you changed? I'm calling for you name Are you? Are you? No matter where the wind may blow I wanna be there when you're old I'm falling Since you came Are you? Are you? I keep finding I keep finding something I keep finding all your corners I keep finding I keep finding something I keep finding When everything you love goes bad You love until they love you back It doesn't matter what we said I'll never stop loving you back When everything you love goes bad You love until they love you back It doesn't matter what we said I'll never stop loving you back Never stop loving you
