lyrics

Learning To Be Still
D G A D
The sun comes up on another day shining through the morning trees
D G A
Nothing here to tie me down, I can go wherever I please
D G A D
All doors are open now, I’m just a traveling fool
D G A
Fields of gold, diamond rain, on my way to you
G D A D
I’m dreaming of that winding road, kicking up dust with my feet
G D A
My eyes are on the distant horizon, thinking bout you and something sweet
A
Thinking about you
G A Bm G A D
Learning to be still, I’m learning to be still
G A Bm G A D
As the days roll into one, learning to be still

Where are all the stars that fall, which way did they go
Where is my pot of gold at the end of my rainbow
Looking for the grass that’s greener, and the place where the rivers meet
All my thoughts are fading now, thinking bout you and something sweet Thinking about you
Learning to be still, I’m learning to be still
As the seasons come and go, learning to be still

(Break over first two lines of a verse and over the “learning to be still”)

What are we reaching for, slipping through our hands
It’ll pass us by like water, like some final dance
Hope its true about second chances, when we wake up from our sleep
I’m looking down at the world below, thinking bout you and something sweet…thinking about you
Learning to be still, I’m learning to be still,
As the years go spinning by, learning to be still

As the world keeps on turning, as the stars keeps on burning
Will we all keep on learning …learning to be still
