Lay Me Down

I raise my head and set my sail

In the eye of the storm and the belly of a whale

My spirit stood on solid ground

I'll be at peace when they lay me down

When I was a child I cried

Until my knees were satisfied

My knees have grown pound for pound

I'll be at peace when they let me down

When they lay me down someday

My soul will rise and fly away

This old world will turn around

I'll be at peace when then lay me down

This life isn't fair it seems

It's filled with tears and broken dreams

There are no tears where I am bound

And I'll be at peace when they lay me down

When they lay me down someday

My soul will rise and fly away

This old world will turn around

I'll be at peace when then lay me down

When they lay me down someday

My soul will rise and fly away

This old world will turn around

I'll be at peace when then lay me down

When I was a child I cried
