There is a feeling that I’m floating
on a calm sea before the storm.
I am restless now and so uneasy
and my sun bleached, sails hang limp and torn

I have wait now for a long, long time
for the warm breeze to move my life
It feels closer now as I get older
I feel the warm winds come and move me to the other side
Yes I do, yes I do

Be still and know that everything’s all right
Be sure and go when everysteps in stride
Be still and know, be very, very wise
Be sure and go when you know the time is right

Now there is a warm breeze, Lord, that has show itself
And I’ve rigged the sail the best that I can
I have faith in him, Lord, I have faith in me
I have drifted for as long as I can
Yes I have, yes I have

Be still and know that everytin’g all right
Be sure and go when every steps in stride
Be still and know, don’t ever get uptight
Be sure and go when you know the time is right

Be still and know that everything’s all right
Be sure and go when every steps in stride
Be still and know, don’t ever get uptight
Be sure and go when you know time is right

Know that everyting’s all right
Go when every steps in stride
Know, be very, very wise
and go when the time is right
