Lyrics for Lay It Down
(Gene Thomas) Travelin' down on different roads Tryin' hard to leave the load 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 disatisfied Seeking wisdom that she denied Tryin' 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 need in playing games After all we're all the same Just tryin' 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 could break the shell Take us from myself made hell Find a way to lay it down. Burdened by the things I've learned Hurtin' 'cause I'm too concerned Nonetheless I confess I yearn To find a way to lay it down. Lay it down, lay it down Wish that I could lay it down...
