Almost Cut My Hair - Matt Corby

Be still and go on to bed

Nobody knows what lies ahead

And life is short

To say the least

We’re in the belly of the beast

Be still

Wild and young

Long may your innocence reign

Like shells on the shore

And may your limits be unknown

And may your efforts be your own

If you ever feel you can’t take it anymore

Don’t break character

You’ve got a lot of heart

Is this real or just a dream?

Rise up like the sun

Labor till the work is done

Be still

One day you’ll leave

Fearlessness on your sleeves

When you come back

Tell me what did you see

— What did you see?

Was there something out there for me?

Be still

Close your eyes

Soon enough you’ll be on your own

Steady and straight

And if they drag you through the mud

It doesn’t change what’s in your blood

— Over rock

— Over chain

Over chain

— Over trap

— Over plain

When they knock you down

Don’t break character

You’ve got a lot of heart

Is this real or just a dream?

Be still

Be still

Be still

Be still

Over rock and chain

Over sunset plain

Over trap and snare

When you’re in too deep

In your wildness dream

In your made up schemes

When they knock you down

When they knock you down

Don’t break character

You’ve got so much heart

Is this real or just a dream?

Oh

Rise up like the sun

And labor till the work is done

Rise up like the sun

And labor till the work is

Rise up like the sun

And labor till the work is done
