"Be still, close your eyes/Soon enough you'll be on your own/Steady and Straight./And if they drag you through the mud/It doesn't change what's in your blood/(Over Chains) When they knock you down/Don't break character/You've got sooo much heart/Is this real or just a dream?/Rise up like the sun/And labor 'til the work is done"
- "Be Still" by The Killers
