Lay Down Your Weapons
Reaching out for sunbeams
Grasping at the light
Soaking in the warmth of
Peace beyond the fight
You have dreamt of walking
Slowly taking time
Figuring the notes out
In this web of mine
I'm a pain, I know
Tearing things to bits and pieces
But I haven't won
Until you are whole again
Lay down your weapons
I'll do the same
Let us just for a minute
Lay off this stupid game
I'll be your safe house
I'll face your fears
Promise you will do better
Lay down your weapons
Lay down your weapons dear
Sun is setting fast now
Soon we're out of light
Soon this might turn into
Yet another fight
Still I think we've untied
Quite a few of these
Knots and tangled ribbons
Put our minds at ease
I'm a pain, I know
Tearing things to bits and pieces
But I haven't won
Until you are whole again
Lay down your weapons
I'll do the same
Let us just for a minute
Lay off this stupid game
I'll be your safe house
I'll face your fears
Promise you will do better
Lay down your weapons
Lay down your weapons dear
