lyrics

Many are the troubles, many are the trials
Many are the things that bring us down
Many are the times you just fall to your knees and pray that you could leave it all

But, child don't lay your burdens down
‘Till the day you are buried down under the ground
‘Till you're prepared to be as light as the air and have nothing holding you at all

All that you must do, you will have done
Between the rising and the setting of the sun
So, waste no time in worry, go take your rest, there just aint no other way

And, all that you must know, you will have learned
By the time the last green leaf has turned
Waste no time in worry, go take your rest, there just aint no other way

Now, can you lay it out straight? Do you know how it sounds?
Can you walk down the street naked and unbound?
Do you have the strength and the courage to believe that one day your burdens will be gone?

Yes, child don't lay your burdens down
‘Till the day you are buried down under the ground
‘Till you're prepared to be as light as the air and have nothing holding you at all

Yes, child don't lay your burdens down
‘Till the day you are buried down under the ground
‘Till you're prepared to be as light as the air and have nothing holding you at all
