[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
Learn to be still
[Verse 2]
We are like sheep without a shepherd
We don't know how to be alone
So we wander around 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[x2]
[Bridge]
Now the flowers in your garden
They don't smell so sweet
Maybe you've forgotten
The heaven lying at your feet
[Solo]
[Verse 3]
There are so many contradictions
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 breaking
It's waiting for you to awaken
And someday you will
Learn to be still[x2]
[Outro]
You just keep on running
Keep on running
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
[Chorus]
Learn to be still
[Verse 2]
We are like sheep without a shepherd
We don't know how to be alone
So we wander around 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[x2]
[Bridge]
Now the flowers in your garden
They don't smell so sweet
Maybe you've forgotten
The heaven lying at your feet
[Solo]
[Verse 3]
There are so many contradictions
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 breaking
It's waiting for you to awaken
And someday you will
Learn to be still[x2]
[Outro]
You just keep on running
Keep on running
