Just another day in paradise As you stumble to your bed 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 Wind up following the wrong gods home But the flock cries out for another And they keep answering that bell 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, so sweet Maybe you've forgotten Heaven lying at your feet Ay, yeah yeah There are so many contradictions In all these messages we send Keep asking How do I get outta 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 Someday you will Learn to be still Learn to be still Just keep on runnin' Keep on runnin' Oh, oh yeah, mm, mm Just keep on runnin'
