Lay It Down

“title: Lay It Down” [Verse 1] You sharpen every thought to steel You test what’s false, demand what’s real You chase the edge, you press the scar You drive your soul like a burning car But not all wars are yours to win Not every locked door yields by skin A mind that never learns to rest Can turn its own heart into test [Pre-Chorus] Be still sometimes The sky won’t break Truth does not fear The time you take [Chorus] Lay down the weight you were never meant to drag You are not saved by carrying every flag The hand that made the stars is not confused You do not need to bleed to be approved Guard well your fire, but do not make it king Some truths arrive when striving loosens grip The strongest men are not the ones who stand alone Even iron was never made to sing alone [Verse 2] The Book you love would tell you this A quieter strength is not abyss Swift to hear and slow to flame Mercy has a stronger name What does it gain to win each fight If peace keeps vanishing each night? The Shepherd never asked His own To build the kingdom bone by bone [Pre-Chorus] Come as you are Not armed for war The truest doors Need force no more [Chorus x2] Lay down the weight you were never meant to drag You are not saved by carrying every flag The hand that made the stars is not confused You do not need to bleed to be approved Guard well your fire, but do not make it king Some truths arrive when striving loosens grip The strongest men are not the ones who stand alone Even iron was never made to sing alone Lay down the weight you were never meant to drag You are not saved by carrying every flag The hand that made the stars is not confused You do not need to bleed to be approved Guard well your fire, but do not make it king Some truths arrive when striving loosens grip The strongest men are not the ones who stand alone Even iron was never made to sing alone
