Be Still

When the new Killers album came out last month, I was beyond excited.  I love The Killers.  I love their music.  I love Brandon Flowers.  I love everything about them.  Well...when the new album came out, I knew it would be good and it was, but I didn't expect a song like "Be Still".  The first time I heard it, I cried.  It's a beautiful song and I wish I could've written it for Kathryn.  I think it sums up everything parents want for their kids.  Jared loves it too and shhh.....don't say anything, but I've caught him a couple of times holding Kathryn while listening to it with tears in his eyes.  We both love it and I listen it often.  I've listed the lyrics below, but they're even better with the music and Brandon's voice.  I think I'm using this for her one year video.  Love that baby.

Be still, 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
May your limits be unknown, 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 sleeve
When you come back, tell me 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 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.

Over rock and chain, over sunset plain.
Over trap and snare
When you're in too deep
In your wildest dreams, in your made up schemes

When they knock you down

Don't break character. You've got so much heart.
Is this real or just a dream?

Rise up like the sun, and labor till the work is done.
