Be Still and Know

In this struggle Are we dead or alive? Freedom is not existence It's why we survive Shake our grief Hold on to belief It can't enslave us forever There is relief No change will be permanent Our strength enduring Bright incandescent Take a chance before we fall Backs against the wall And the sun will rise Dawn will break through the blackest night Distant in its glow This shall pass be still and know And there's heartache As we search to connect Even just for a moment Pretend We're content There is love Know that we are one We are all in this together Weather the storm Look into each other's eyes Make the connection before it dies It will all disseminate As we consummate And the sun will rise Dawn will break through the blackest night Distant in its glow This shall pass be still and know Is it hopeless? Will the fear take control? Don't succumb to the numbing Sting of defeat Take this hate Let the bile stagnate Hoist the head of Goliath Bask in its grace Stars realign in the sky Glaciers will melt and the oceans rise Waves will come crashing ashore But withstand the roar And the sun will rise Dawn will break through the blackest night Distant in its glow This shall pass be still and know --- Be Still and Know - Machine Head
