Please be still; you're black; you're ill
You'll live, you will; I'm here; be still

This world is curled up in your hands
This world may never understand

So hide in me; you think you're free
I'll be your will; just please be still

This world is curled up in your hands
This world may never understand

I need to buy a bit more time
So shut your heart and still your mind

And please be still
Be still, be still, be still
