Traveling down a different road Trying hard to leave the load We take it there but you can't let go It's so hard to lay it down Back in Eden we were tried Found ourselves dissatisfied Seeking wisdom that he denied Trying hard to lay it down Lay it down, lay it down It's so hard to lay it down Hide in me, confide in me Oh, don't you think it's time to be Everything we ever tried to be So you and me can lay it down Speak to me, don't be ashamed There's no need in playing games Cause after all we're all the same Just trying hard to lay it down Wish my words could make it well Wish that I could break the shell Take us from our self-made well Find a way to lay it down Burdened by the things I've learned I'm hurting because 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 Wish that I could lay it down
