Lay It Down

from Lay It Down by Krista Herring

/

lyrics

Come walk with me love
But you're gonna have to lay it down
All these burdens
The fear, the pain
The ways to keep it out
Stand up where you belong, it's time
The wind is at your back
Feel it lift you, let it go
Feel the walls begin to crack

I know you want to lay it down
The weight of the world
Will sink you till you drown
I know you want to lay it down
You just don't know how.

So follow me, Love
When you cannot see the way
All you need, Love, to know
Is you're going home
Come leave behind these sleepy ways
This endless night, and find the day
Somewhere the sun has not turned black
Pack your dreams into this bag
Leave your fears and
Baby, don't look back

I know you want to lay it down
The weight of the world
Will sink you till you drown
Breathe it in and breathe it out
Trust me now...
