Lay It Down

(Gene Thomas)
 Travelin' down on different roads
 Tryin' hard to leave the load
 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 disatisfied
 Seeking wisdom that she denied
 Tryin' hard 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 unashamed
 There's no need in playing games
 After all we're all the same
 Just tryin' hard to lay it down.
 Lay it down brother, lay it down
 It's so hard to lay it down.
 Wish my words could make it well
 Wish that I could break the shell
 Take us from myself made hell
 Find a way to lay it down.
 Burdened by the things I've learned
 Hurtin' 'cause 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...
