Meredith Brooks & Queen Latifah - Lay down lyrics

Your rating:

Lay down lay down
Lay it all down
Let your white birds smile up
On the ones who stand and frown
Lay down lay down
Lay it all down
Let your white birds smile up
On the ones who stand and frown 

We were so close there was no room
We bled inside each other's wounds
We all had caught the same disease
We all sang the songs of peace 

Lay down lay down
Lay it all down
Let your white birds smile up
On the ones who stand and frown
Lay down lay down
Lay it all down
Let your white birds smile up
On the ones who stand and frown 

What if I told you were stupid, destructive, soulless,
callous, murderous, malignant, belligerent, ignorant
Would you believe me would you like that
Or would you prove me wrong and fight back
I'd like to take the sunshine right from the sky
And let it shine on you through my eyes
You see we all in the same boat trying to float
So everybody grab a oar we can make it to shore 

Lay down lay down
Lay it all down
Let your white birds smile up
On the ones who stand and frown
Lay down lay down
Lay it all down
Let your white birds smile up
On the ones who stand and frown 

We were so close there was no room
We bled inside each other's wounds
We all had caught the same disease
We all sang the songs of peace
Some came to sing some came to pray
Some came to keep the dark away
So raise the candles high
'Cuz if you don't we could stay black against the night
Oh raise them higher again and if you do we could stay dry against the rain 

Lay down lay down
Lay it all down
Let your white birds smile up
On the ones who stand and frown
Lay down lay down
Lay it all down
Let your white birds smile up
On the ones who stand and frown
