Lay It Down - Nichole Nordeman

To every son and daughter

Wayward and long gone

The love of a Father will leave the light on

I tried to throw you off track

A needle in the haystack

And I don’t know how you found me

Or why you let me come back

Cuz 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

Chorus:

Lay it down a little

Lay it down a lot

I don’t want to hold it anymore

Lay it down in pieces or

Lay it down in whole

Everything I’ve carried on my own

Lay it down (4x)

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

Chorus (2x)

To every son and daughter, wayward and long gone…
