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
