Stay - The Tragically Hip

You did the best that you could do

You were a great crew

Who tried to nurture and preserve your faith in you

And with the bureau chiefs and the shrugging spies

You could stay but why?

You see a light and then another

And everything you fought for naught is uncovered

You’re not a fighter, you’re a lover

You got no business in here, brother

So stay, stay

Is it the worst that you could do?

You were a great you

Who tried to nurture and preserve your faith in you

And with the bureau chiefs and the shrugging spies

You could stay and why?

'Cause you see a light and then another

Everything you thought you sought is uncovered

You’re a fighter and a lover

And there’s no one up above her

So stay, stay

All things being balanced

It’s balanced and called balancing

Somewhere beyond everything

And it’s being balanced

Not for the sake of balance

But balancing between the throes of learning

And the entire thing

Entirely

Balancing
