Lay It Down

Traveling down a different road Trying hard to leave the load We take it there but we can't let go It's so hard to lay it down Back in Eden we were tried Found ourselves dissatisfied Seeking wisdom that she denied Trying hard to lay it down Lay it down, brother, lay it down It's so hard to lay it down Hide in me, confide in me Don't you think it's time to be Everything we tried to be You and me should lay it down Speak to me, be unashamed There's no time for playing games After all we're all the same Just trying hard to lay it down Lay it down, brother, lay it down It's so hard to lay it down Lay it down, brother, lay it down It's so hard to lay it down Wish my words could make it well Wish that I might break the shell Take us from our self-made well Find a way to lay it down Burdened by the things I've learned Hurting 'cause I'm too concerned Nonetheless, I confess, I yearn To find a way to lay it down Lay it down, lay it down It's so hard to lay it down Lay it down, lay it down It's so hard to lay it down Lay it down, lay it down It's so hard to lay it down
