Lay Down My Guns

And I'm laying down these burdens, taking off the weights
And I lost myself when my friends found the grave

May this desert reach its end where my new life begins
Surrender to love and live again
Surrender to love and live again
Lay down, lay down, lay down my guns
And I have seen the devil in this place

Lay down, lay down, lay down my guns
And I'll abandon my defenses and live to love again
These guns are not as heavy as the hearts they defend
To lay down my guns and lift my hands
And I can't count the miles that I've walked to find my way
Surrender to love and live again
When I lay down my guns and lift my hands
To lay down these guns, how I need to lay down these guns
Lay down, lay down, lay down my guns
When I lay down my guns and lift my hands
May this desert reach its end where my new life begins
When you're this far from Heaven it's hard to keep the faith
Lay down my guns and lift my hands

I'm barely holding on, I can't wait
When I lay down my guns and lift my hands

When I lay down my guns and lift my hands
And I can't wait to get back home where I can find some rest

May this desert reach its end where my new life begins
