| 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 God’s 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 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, learn to be still |
| You just keep on running |
| Keep on running |
