| Let me re-tell a story I know
|
| About a man named Moses
|
| Who lived long ago
|
| He prophesied good
|
| He prophesied bad
|
| And now that prophecy’s
|
| Coming to pass
|
| Let all your sons and your daughters
|
| Of the golden calf
|
| Lay down your burden of sorrow
|
| Lay down your burden of hurt
|
| Lay it all down, for paradise here on earth
|
| A whole lot of people, including myself
|
| Thought the story of Moses was just a tall tale
|
| But all of the things that we see going on
|
| Are just what Moses set down
|
| Lay down your burden of sorrow
|
| Lay down your burden of hurt
|
| I just can’t imagine a reason for sorrow
|
| Just can’t imagine the hurt
|
| You’ve got to lay it down
|
| I said, lay down your burden of sorrow
|
| Lay down your burden of hurt
|
| Lay down your burden of sorrow
|
| There’s just no reason to hurt
|
| You’ve got to lay down your burden of sorrow
|
| Lay down your burden of hurt
|
| I said, lay it all down, for paradise here on earth |
