It's heavy, lay your burden down It's heavy, lay your burden down Brother, can't you see stars in the night? Brother, can't you see stars in the night? There's a road up yonder far beyond the light Take a ride this morning on a slow train through the sky Take a ride this morning on a slow train through the sky My life is just a fast train, gone in the blink of an eye It's heavy, lay your burden down It's heavy, lay your burden down Felt the hand last Sunday when the stars refused to shine Felt the hand on Sunday when the stars refused Refused, refused to shine And I'm just a young man, I don't feel like dying It's heavy, lay your burden down It's heavy, lay your burden down Can't you hear the angels screaming? Is it, is it, is it, is it in my head now? Can't you hear the angels screaming? Tell me, tell me, tell me, is it in my head? I'm looking out my window, sky is blood red Sky is blood red, yeah You got to lay your burden down
