Lyrics

[00:00.00] 07 : Lay It Down (Song for a Prodigal)
[00:00.01] (Nichole Nordeman)
[00:00.71] To every son and daughter
[00:04.59] Wayward and long gone
[00:08.48] The love of a father
[00:12.40] Will leave the light on
[00:24.21] Tried to throw you off track
[00:28.22] A needle in a haystack
[00:31.43] I don't know how you found me
[00:35.63] Or why you let me come back
[00:39.03] 'Cause it's a long way home when all you're left to carry
[00:46.63] Is a heart of stone and the weight of most the world
[00:53.68] And I'd like to?
[00:55.95] Lay it down a little
[00:59.89] Lay it down a lot
[01:02.82] I don't want to hold it anymore
[01:07.38] Lay it down in pieces
[01:11.41] Lay it down in whole
[01:14.46] Everything I've carried on my own
[01:18.89] Lay it down, lay it down
[01:22.94] Lay it down, lay it down
[01:29.08] I spent your money
[01:33.13] Living on the fringes
[01:36.84] But you threw a party for me
[01:40.68] Invited all your big friends
[01:43.23] And I have learned a little bit about a heavy load
[01:50.85] All that gleams and glitters is not worth its weight in gold
[01:58.61] And I know I should?
[02:00.73] Lay it down a little
[02:04.60] Lay it down a lot
[02:07.75] I don't want to hold it anymore
[02:12.73] Lay it down in pieces
[02:16.73] Lay it down in whole
[02:19.92] Everything I've carried on my own
[02:24.35] Lay it down, lay it down
[02:28.10] Lay it down, lay it down
[02:48.50] Lay it down a little
[02:52.20] Lay it down a lot
[02:55.19] I don't want to hold it anymore
[03:00.04] Lay it down in pieces
[03:03.67] Lay it down in whole
[03:07.04] Everything I've carried on my own
[03:11.34] Lay it down, lay it down
[03:15.27] Lay it down, lay it down
[03:19.40] Lay it down, lay it down
[03:23.26] Lay it down, lay it down
[03:29.15] To every son and daughter
[03:33.33] Wayward and long gone
