Lyrics
You've given all you have to give.
You feel there's nothing left to live for;
That life will never go your way.
Yes, things look very bleak to you today.
I hate to ruin all your fun but,
You know you're not the only one,
Who's ever felt this way before,
Who's been stranded on that island before.
Even now there's a voice that's calling from way down deep inside.
And it's shouting a truth you cannot hide.
Chorus A:
Be still and know this day will pass.
Every moment better than the last.
And soon your pain will be
But a faded memory and you'll
wonder why it ever seemed so vast.
I know you're wond'ring how I find
That I should know your state of mind.
I can see the island clearly from the shore.
'Cause I've been there and back a thousand times before.
That's how I know there's a voice that's calling from way down deep inside.
And it's shouting a truth you can't deny.
Be still and know this day will pass.
Every moment better than the last.
No matter your chagrin,
Your ship returns again.
You'll be wiser having sailed it back to shore.
Yes, you'll be wiser that you could have been before.
(Chorus A)
