Lay me down

Lay me down

In this soft bed

Weary are the bones that carry me

I need to rest a sunblessed head

Tired is what I’m feeling

From the pain of long lost days

Let me sleep till morning

It is a price my body pays

Come to me

Knead this wretched ache

Comfort me in slumber

Until the moment I awake

Sing to me

Of glory and of freedom

The rising of the helpless

Of victories yet to come

Loose the chains

That flay the skin, break the bone

Set this weary body down

Until its pain is done.
