Lay It Down Songtext

von Buffy Sainte-Marie

Travelin down a different road
Tryin' hard to leave the load
We can take it there but we can't let go
It's so hard to lay it down

Back in Eden we were tried
We found ourselves dissatisfied
Seeking wisdom we denied
Now we yearn 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 unchained
There's no need in playin' games
After all, we're all the same
Tryin' hard to lay it down

Lay it down sister
Lay it down
It's so hard to lay it down

Wish my words could make it well
Wish that I could break the spell
Wake the world from its dream of Hell
And find a way to lay it down

Burdened by the things I learned
And burdened cause I'm too concerned
Nonetheless I confess I yearn to find a way to lay it down

Lay it down brother
Lay it down
It's so hard to lay it down

Lay it down sister
Lay it down
It's so hard to lay it down
