Lyrics Lay It Down - Buffy Sainte-Marie

Lay It Down

Travelin' down a different road
Tryin' hard to leave the load
We can take it there but we can’t let go
It’s so hard to lay it down
Back in Eden we were tried
We found ourselves dissatisfied
Seeking wisdom we denied
Now we yearn to lay it down
Lay it down, brother
Lay it down
It’s so hard to lay it down
Hide in me, confide in me
Don’t you think it’s time to be
Everything we tried to be
You and me should lay it down
Speak to me, be unchained
There’s no need in playin' games
After all, we’re all the same
Tryin' hard to lay it down
Lay it down, sister
Lay it down
It’s so hard to lay it down
Wish my words could make it well
Wish that I could break the spell
Wake the world from its dream of Hell
And find a way to lay it down
Burdened by the things I learned
And burdened 'cause I’m too concerned
Nonetheless, I confess I yearn
To find a way to lay it down
Lay it down, brother
Lay it down
It’s so hard to lay it down
Lay it down, sister
Lay it down
It’s so hard to lay it down
