Traveling down two different roads Trying hard to leave the load We take it there, but we can't let go It's so hard to lay it down Hide in me, confide in me Don't you think it's time to be All the things you've tried to be You and me should lay it down Speak to me and be unashamed There's no need in playing games After all, we're just all the same Trying hard to lay it down I wish my word could make it well I wish that I could break this shell Take us from this self-made hell Find a way to lay it down I'm burdened by the things I've learned I'm hurting because I'm too concerned Nonetheless I confess I yearn To find a way to lay it down Lay it down, brother It's so hard to lay it down Lay it down, my sisters You and me should lay it down Lay it down We've got to find a way to lay it down
