Up on the altar of sacrifice

Can't get in the habit, of thinking twice

Lit up my heart in a funeral blaze

Gonna live for something beside yesterdays.

I've been waiting for this moment for too long.

My mama said, "keep moving

Though you're down, you're gonna rise again

Come on, darling, don't get in your head

You know you know the wheels still in spin

Even though your heart is breaking

And the changes all keep changing

You be still".

You can try me 'til kingdom come

I got a heart like a beating drum

I see hot summer lightning, hear the crack in the sky

Jump out of the trench, boys, we were born to die.

I been waiting for this moment for too long.

My mama said, "keep moving

Though you're down, you're gonna rise again

Come on, darling, don't get in your head

You know you know the wheels still in spin

Even though your heart is breaking

And the changes all keep changing

You be still".

My mama said, "keep moving

Come on, darling, don't get in your head

You know you know the wheels still in spin

And the changes all keep changing

You be still".
