[Verse 1]
Well I used to walk stooped
From the weight of my tears
I just started laying my burdens down
I used to duck bullets from the rifle of fear
I just started laying my burdens down
Oh I'm laying them down
I just started laying my burdens down
Oh lay I'm laying them down
I just started laying my burdens down

[Verse 2]
The flesh isn't nothing but the bark on a tree
I just started laying my burdens down
The tree isn't nothing but the soul in me
I just started laying my burdens down
Oh I'm laying them down
I just started laying my burdens down
Oh lay I'm laying them down
I just started laying my burdens down

[Verse 3]
My soul took love on a hell of a ride
I just started laying my burdens down
A soul isn't nothing but the car love drives
I just started laying my burdens down
Oh I'm laying them down
I just started laying my burdens down
Oh lay I'm laying them down
I just started laying my burdens down
