The Tragically Hip - Stay Lyrics

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's 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's 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, it's being balanced
Not for the sake of balance but balancing between the throes
Of learning and the entire thing entirely balancing
