We all see it right through our own eyes
We felt misunderstood 1 million times.
All the struggle striving all the choosing sides-
We can't keep standing strong if we divide.
I'm going to lay it down won't carry the weight of the past,
I'm going to lay it down won't pick up the shame and words that hurt,
I'm going to lay down and even if they curse my name and run me in the ground I'm going to lay it down.
We've got to come together with an open mind,
With humbled hearts and leave our pride behind
Forgive and forget let's compromise
We can't keep standing strong if we divide
I'm going to lay it down won't carry the weight of the past,
I'm going to lay it down won't pick up the shame and words that hurt,
I'm going to lay down and even if they curse my name and run me in the ground I'm going to lay it down.
Sometimes you got a let it go you don't always have to prove yourself, sometimes you've got to learn to bend it ain't always up to someone else, I know you've got a broken heart but laying down is the hardest part, you've got to lay it down.
I'm going to lay it down won't carry the weight of the past,
I'm going to lay it down won't pick up the shame and words that hurt,
I'm going to lay down and even if they curse my name and run me in the ground I'm going to lay it down.
