07 : Lay It Down (Song for a Prodigal) |
|
(Nichole Nordeman) |
|
To every son and daughter |
|
Wayward and long gone |
|
The love of a father |
|
Will leave the light on |
|
Tried to throw you off track |
|
A needle in a haystack |
|
I don't know how you found me |
|
Or why you let me come back |
|
'Cause it's a long way home when all you're left to carry |
|
Is a heart of stone and the weight of most the world |
|
And I'd like to? |
|
Lay it down a little |
|
Lay it down a lot |
|
I don't want to hold it anymore |
|
Lay it down in pieces |
|
Lay it down in whole |
|
Everything I've carried on my own |
|
Lay it down, lay it down |
|
Lay it down, lay it down |
|
I spent your money |
|
Living on the fringes |
|
But you threw a party for me |
|
Invited all your big friends |
|
And I have learned a little bit about a heavy load |
|
All that gleams and glitters is not worth its weight in gold |
|
And I know I should? |
|
Lay it down a little |
|
Lay it down a lot |
|
I don't want to hold it anymore |
|
Lay it down in pieces |
|
Lay it down in whole |
|
Everything I've carried on my own |
|
Lay it down, lay it down |
|
Lay it down, lay it down |
|
Lay it down a little |
|
Lay it down a lot |
|
I don't want to hold it anymore |
|
Lay it down in pieces |
|
Lay it down in whole |
|
Everything I've carried on my own |
|
Lay it down, lay it down |
|
Lay it down, lay it down |
|
Lay it down, lay it down |
|
Lay it down, lay it down |
|
To every son and daughter |
|
Wayward and long gone |
