Lay It Down

Smalltown Poets


I held the day 
Above the night for you, love 
To see you lift your eyes up 
To see you smile again 

Your heavy heart 
Looks for a sanctuary 
From all the hurt you carry 
Into another day 
The sun is rising 

My love, lay it down 

You're born to shine 
Along the way of heaven 
To find you've been forgiven 
To know it works that way 

So they were right 
And pride is hard to let go 
Would you believe I said so 
And put it on the line 
The sun is rising 
Your confession won't surprise me 

Love, lay it down 
My love, lay it down 
Oh let it all 
Come down on my love 

Just as sure as the sun is rising 
Your confession won't surprise me 
Lay it down on my love 
Lay it down 

Love hear the truth 
I have joy to give you 
I'll make everything new 
Trust me so let it go 
I have far better plans 
Than this moment demands 
I'll take care of you one of my own 
My own
