Lay it down

I've been looking till my eyes are tired of looking

Listening till my ears are numb from listening

Praying till my knees are sore

From kneeling on the bedroom floor

I know that you know that my heart is aching

I'm running out of tears and my will is breaking

I don't think I can carry the burden

Of this anymore

'Cause all of my hopes and my dreams and my best laid plans

Are slowly slipping through my folded hands

(CHORUS)

So I'm gonna lay it down

I'm gonna learn to trust you know

What else can I do

Everything I am depends on you

And if the sun don't come back up

I know your love will be enough

So I'm gonna let it be

I'm gonna let it go

I'm gonna lay it down

I've been walking through this world like I'm barely living

Buried in the doubt of this hole I've been digging

But you're pulling me out

And I'm finally breathing in the open air

This room may be dark but I'm finally seeing

There's a new ray of hope and now I'm believing

That the past is past and the future's beginning

To look brighter now

'Cause all of my hopes and my dreams and my best laid plans

Are safe and secure when I place them in your hands
