Traveling down a different road
Trying hard to leave the load
We take it there but you can't let go
It's so hard to lay it down

Back in Eden we were tried
Found ourselves dissatisfied
Seeking wisdom that he denied
Trying hard to lay it down

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

Hide in me, confide in me
Oh, don't you think it's time to be
Everything we ever tried to be
So you and me can lay it down

Speak to me, don't be ashamed
There's no need in playing games
Cause after all we're all the same
Just trying hard to lay it down

Wish my words could make it well
Wish that I could break the shell
Take us from our self-made well
Find a way to lay it down

Burdened by the things I've learned
I'm hurting because 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
Wish that I could lay it down
