Still Waters Lyrics

Well I was never one to ever dig down and fight for it

'Cause everything that I had

Well I had been given it

And I was never one to make a sacrifice or change my life

If I didn't live for it

Then why would I die for it?

And all of the problems I had to face

And all of the obstacles that got in my way

I'd find these easiest way to push them out of my way

But along the way I learned I need to change because

Still waters seldom shape skilled sailors

So father don't do me any favours

I've got to make it on my own

The hard way's the right way to learn

Well I was never one to bend let alone break for it

Because of the mistakes I did

'Cause I was so ashamed of it

But slowly I've been learning that the problems now occurring

Well they wouldn't leave me hurting if I'd faced them on my journey

In the first place

Now I need first aid

And all of the shortcuts I used to take

Never seemed to bring me to quite the right place

I needed to go, so now I need to go

To the swelling sea with the waves crashing because

Still waters seldom shape skilled sailors

So father don't do me any favours

I've got to make it on my own

The hard way's the right way to learn

Still waters seldom shape skilled sailors

So father don't do me any favours

I've got to make it on my own

The hard way's the right way

The hard way's the right way to learn

Still waters seldom shape skilled sailors

So father don't do me any favours

I've got to make it on my own

The hard way's the right way to learn

Blue skies seldom shape skilled pilots

Sometimes it seems scary but you've got to try it

Sometimes you will just barely get by it, but remember

The hard way's the right way

The hard way's the right way

The hard way's the right way

The hard way's the right way to learn
