Chorus:

,,	                       
      And you say, be still my love 
	            
      Open up your heart 
                         ////           
      Let the light shine in 
                             
      But don't you understand 
                        
      I already have a plan

Verse:
	             
      When I awoke today, 
     *	 	               *  /
      suddenly nothing happened 
/ /	                            /
      But in my dreams, I slew the dragon 
  //		          *	                    *  / 
      And down this beaten path,    and up this cobbled lane 
   //	                             *   
      I'm walking in my old footsteps, once again.


Chorus:

	                         
       And you say, just be here now 
	                 
       Forget about the past, 
                              ////
       your mask is wearing thin 
                                 
       Let me throw one more dice 
                          
       I know that I can win 
             		    		     *  
       I'm waiting, for my real life, to begin

Verse:

	            
        Any minute now, 
      *	 	      *   /
        my ship is coming in 
/ /		                    /
        I'll keep checking the horizon 
/ /		                  *	                      *  /
        And I'll check my machine, there's sure to be that call 
/ /	                                        // 
        It's gonna happen soon, soon,   oh so very soon,  
                                 /
        It's just that times are lean 


Chorus:

                            
        And you say, be still my love 
	              
        Open up your heart, 
                          ////

        Don't you understand 
                         
        I already have a plan 
               		           
        I'm waiting, for my real life, to begin
