Give It a Rest Songtext
von The Arcadian Wild

Give it a rest
Don′t try to make it happen
Did you forget?
You gotta kick the habit
You can't remake the world according to your will

Oh, blessed boy
Our golden child of promise
We have enjoyed the light you′ve shed upon us
Let us attend unto that frail and weary flame

The weight of all the earth
Was never yours to bear
I guess we live and learn
Where can we be, but here?


Shimmering jewel
Your mother's crowning glory
Son of a fool
You chose another story
A family made out of more than flesh and bone

I know you're tired
It is a labored living
Much is required of whom too much is given
Don′t leave us here
We need you now, just as before

I wanna hear you sing again
At the top of your lungs as we hit the interstate
Just like it′s sunny with a high of 75
A glory that never fades
I know it's harder than we ever imagined
But brother bear, we are on the way
I wanna hear you sing again at the top of your lungs
Not a note out of place


Give it a rest
Don′t try to make it happen
Did you forget?
You gotta kick the habit
You can't remake the world
