Lay Down Your Arms Lyrics

If I had to climb a hundred high hills, I would

I'd scale every one

If I had to sail five frozen seas, I would

I'd launch off today

If I had to face some fearsome foe

To reach that good rest at the end of the road

I would

But a word comes to me

That insults my self-esteem

And my faith in me

Saying lay down your arms, the battle is won

The hills are all scaled, the journey is done

Won't you cool your ambition before you proceed

'Cause nobody earns it, they die or they take it for free

Then what if I could change the laws of the land, I would

Back as the Fathers had planned

What if I could make people all colors and creeds

Go hand in hand

What if I could heal a deadly disease

Save our poor planet and all of the trees

Throw out my bottles and kick all of my habits

Donate my profits, surrender my all

But that word has heard my tale

Tells me I will not prevail

I can try but when I fail

It'll still be not for sale

So lay down your arms, the battle is won

The hills are all scaled, the journey is done

But the good news gets better for those who believe

There's one Man who earned it

His trophy He shares with the weak

Lay down your arms, the battle is won

The hills are all scaled, the journey is done

But the good news gets better for those who believe

There's one Man who earned it

His trophy He shares with the weak
