English (Original Language)
1. When your burdensare too heavyAnd it feels likeThere’s no endingThere’s a lifelineThat will pull you throughWhen you’re crawlingin the desertAnd you’re weak fromLack of waterAn oasisIs waiting for youYou just have to choose
To lay it downPut it behind youStop holding on to all of the wrongYou’ve kept inside youYeah, you’ve been through the worstYou live and you learnAnd you’ve learned what you need to for nowSo lay it downLay it down
2. When you’re hurtingTrapped with sorrowJust rememberThere’s hope for tomorrowAnd a work thatYou’re needed to doYou just have to choose
To lay it downPut it behind youStop holding on to all of the wrongYou’ve kept inside youYeah, you’ve been through the worstYou live and you learnAnd you’ve learned what you need to for nowSo lay it downLay it down
You can be freeHe will take all your chainsOf heartache and painIf you leave them at His feet
So lay it downPut it behind youStop holding on to all of the wrongYou’ve kept inside youYeah, you’ve been through the worstYou live and you learnAnd you’ve learned what you need to for now
So lay it downPut it behind youStop holding on to all of the wrongYou’ve kept inside youYeah, you’ve been through the worstYou live and you learnAnd you’ve learned what you need to for nowSo lay it downLay it downSo lay it downLay it down
