Chapter Be Still
Baby be still, momma's here don't cry
I'll cradle you in my arms until your eyes are dry
Your heart is mine, mine beats to yours
My love goes on, from seas to shores
Darling be still, you run too much.
You might trip and fall, drop your sippy cup
Your knees will get scraped and I don't want you hurt
Now go play with your dolls and stay out of the dirt
From morning to night, it's a daily routine
Get with the chores, make sure your room's clean
Focus on your homework and not on boys
Be still my love, don't listen to the noise
"I want a life now, without a doubt
I want to see what this world is all about
The money, the parties, the places to go
I'm living free now, so what do you know?"
Honey be still, you're moving so fast
You're only in college, don't let life pass
Can you stop and focus on your family now
In this life I've given you, that God has allowed
...Your faith is tested in the moment to brace
She lays there in pain, you can tell by her face
You try to be strong, can't show her you're weak
She tells you the news, she begins to speak
Be still my child, mom now has to fight
It's your turn now to cradle me through the night
Remember I've taught you good from bad
You were the best friend I've ever had
The time that comes, it comes too soon
I look at the stars and glance at the moon
You think about the things you should've done
From the beginning of time when your life begun
Please keep me still, I shout and pray
You turn to God when there's no other way
You plead and promise, you tell him to wait
You try to get right before it's too late
I scream and cry, take me instead
So many regrets, too much to dread
Hope is gone as tears hit the bed
The battle is over, but she's not dead...
He comes through the window, a message he sends
Listen to me carefully, this is not the end
Be still my child, be good in heart and mind
Love your family now, because time will not rewind
So be still
