[Verse 1]
Travellin' down our different roads
Tryin' hard to leave the load
We take it there but we can't let go
It's so hard to lay it down

[Verse 2]
Back in Eden we were tried
Found ourselves dissatisfied
Seeking wisdom she denied
Tryin' hard to lay it down

[Chorus]
Lay it down brother, lay it down
So hard to lay it down

[Verse 3]
Hide in me, confide in me
Don't you think it's time to be
Everything we tried to be
You and me should lay it down

[Verse 4]
So speak to me, be unashamed
There's no need in playing games
After all we're all the same
Tryin' hard to lay it down
[Chorus]
Lay it down brother, lay it down
So hard to lay it down

[Verse 5]
Wish my words could make it well
Wish that I could break the shell
Take us from our self-made hell
Find a way to lay it down

[Verse 6]
Burdened by the things I've learned
Hurting 'cause I'm too concerned
Nonetheless I confess I yearn
To find a way to lay it down

[Chorus]
Lay it down brother, lay it down
So hard to lay it down
Lay it down brother, lay it down
So hard to lay it down
