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 disatisfied

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
