Be Still, Child Lyrics
I said my goodbyes to the sun
my little one, so far away.
And how strange, how small we must become
yet as familiar as yesterday
The bluest iris that I'd ever seen
She vanished like a dream, sinking back
into the ground
Singing, "Maybe I'm ashamed
and maybe I wept real tears
but maybe she was hiding because she wanted to be found"
You wanted to be found!
Don't be afraid of him.
Be still.
my little one, so far away.
And how strange, how small we must become
yet as familiar as yesterday
She vanished like a dream, sinking back
into the ground
Singing, "Maybe I'm ashamed
and maybe I wept real tears
but maybe she was hiding because she wanted to be found"
You wanted to be found!
Be still.

This song freakin rules
Word to mewithoutYou! It's so awesome to see a powerful Christian fire burning in indie music.
this is a great song, mewithoutyou is soooooo awesome. They are so original as well.
you skipped a line. it's, "singing, 'maybe i'm ashamed and maybe i wept real tears'".
but besides that, much love to mewithoutyou.
Dont be afraid of him......Christ. great song, great band, must see live!
"My little one" (see "My little girl") and "The bluest iris that I'd ever seen" (see "You're nice and blue") tie in with lines of "Nice and Blue".
