Lay It Down Lyrics by Nichole Nordeman

Brave (SE)

2005

[Verse 1]
To every son and daughter
Wayward and long gone
The love of a father
Will leave the light on
Tried to throw you off track
A needle in a haystack
And I don't know how you found me
Or why you let me come back
[Pre-Chorus 1]
'Cause it's a long way home when all you're left to carry
Is a heart of stone and the weight of most the world
And I'd like to
[Chorus]
Lay it down a little
Lay it down a lot
I don't want to hold it anymore
Lay it down in pieces
Lay it down in whole
Everything I've carried on my own
Lay it down, lay it down
Lay it down, lay it down
[Verse 2]
I spent your money
Living on the fringes
But you threw a party for me
Invited all your big friends
[Pre-Chorus 2]
And I have learned a little bit about a heavy load
All that gleams and glitters is not worth its weight in gold
And I know I should
[Chorus]
Lay it down a little
Lay it down a lot
I don't want to hold it anymore
Lay it down in pieces
Lay it down in whole
Everything I've carried on my own
Lay it down, lay it down
Lay it down, lay it down
[Instrumental]
[Chorus]
Lay it down a little
Lay it down a lot
I don't want to hold it anymore
Lay it down in pieces
Lay it down in whole
Everything I've carried on my own
Lay it down, lay it down
Lay it down, lay it down
Lay it down, lay it down
Lay it down, lay it down!
[Outro]
To every son and daughter
Wayward and long gone
