THOMAS, Gene

Lay it down

Travellin' down our different roads

Tryin' 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 dissatisfied

Seeking wisdom she denied

Tryin' hard to lay it down

Lay it down brother, lay it down

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

So speak to me, be unashamed

There's no need in playing games

After all we're all the same

Tryin' hard to lay it down

Lay it down brother, lay it down

So 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 hell

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 brother, lay it down

So hard to lay it down

Lay it down brother, lay it down

So hard to lay it down...
