Lay It Down

[Verse 1]
This sound
It isn't big, it isn't loud
And you have to listen closely
It would
Disappear in a crowd
And it's very soft and ghostly

And this sound
It isn't big, it isn't loud
But it's the sound that makes my heart sing
It's found
Very subtle all around
In the silence is between things

[Pre-Chorus]
And you've been down that other road
And you've seen what's at the end
You carry such a heavy load
So lay it down, my friend

[Chorus]
Lay it down
Lay it down
Listen to the gentle sound and
Lay it down
Lay it down
So quiet
All around

[Verse 2]
And this sound
It isn't big, it isn't loud
It's not the sound to fill arenas
Not loud
It isn't meant to move the crowd
Not even move the air between us

And this sound
It's very soft and very small
And it's nearly disappearing
Almost
Like you hear no sound at all
It's like a different way of hearing

[Pre-Chorus]
You've been down that other road
And you've seen what's at the end
You carry such a heavy load
So lay it down, my friend

[Chorus]
Lay it down
Lay it down
Listen to the gentle sound and
Lay it down
Lay it down
So quiet
All around

[Bridge]
Just when you think you've got it all wrong
It's just before it all comes true
Don't up yet, you've got to be strong
'Cause there's still one thing to do

[Chorus]
Lay it down
Lay it down
Listen to the gentle sound and
Lay it down
Lay it down
So quiet
All around
