Lay Down Lyrics

Lay down your head tonight

The way is dark and long

The sun has set and left your angel wings

We'll fend for ourselves

Until morning comes

We'll be courageous

Fighting for our rightful share

You know we'd be nowhere

Without your help

So lay down your head

Spring arrived and your duty's done

You gave us hope when we saw none

Now that you've gone away from me

I hope beyond hope that you will see

That you've given all you had to give us

Everything you've known and loved

Is here in the shadows

We'll keep it cool

It's here when you return

And if you ever come by again

We'll give you everything you've given

And the hope that you are here beside me

Is nothing less than promised truth

I know you've been trying to make us perfect

But lay down your head
