Lay It Down

Susan Calloway


You walk alone among us
Watching our refugee souls
Traces of you around us
We let the trail just turn cold, we let the trail just turn cold

Come lay it down, your broken
Come lay it down, your stains
Come lay it down, your ruins
I can take your pain, you just come and lay

We search for truth between us
There’s so much that we can’t explain
I feel the sun, see the mountains
They seem to call out your name, they same to call out your name

Come lay it down, your broken
Come lay it down, your stains
Come lay it down, your ruins
I can take your pain, you just come and lay

You can spend, your whole life running away from Love
And you bend, till you break, from all the push and shove
You might get, all you want, somehow you lose your soul
If you stop, if you listen, you'll find your way back home

You walk alone among us
Maybe you just need a friend
Maybe it’s true, you love us
This life’s not really the end, this life’s not really the end

Come lay it down, your broken
Come lay it down, your stains
Come lay it down, your ruins
I can take your pain, you just come and lay
You just come and lay
