I just need a place to lay my head Forget the chain that hangs around my neck
These guns are not as heavy as the hearts they defend
I can't wait to get back home where I can find some rest
When I lay down my guns and lift my hands Surrender to love and live again
May this desert reach its end Where my new life begins
When I lay down my guns and lift my hands
And I have seen the devil in this place And I lost myself when my friends found the grave
When you're this far from heaven It's hard to keep the faith
I barely hold it all I can't wait
To lay down my guns and lift my hands Surrender to love and live again
May this desert reach its end Where my new life begins
When I lay down my guns and lift my hands
And I'm laying down these burdens Taking off the weights
I can't count the miles That I've walked to find my way
To lay down these guns How I need to lay down these guns
Lay down my guns and lift my hands Surrender to love and live again
May this desert reach its end Where my new life begins
And I'll abandon my defenses And live to love again
When I lay down my guns and lift my hands
Lay down, lay down, lay down my guns
Lay down my guns
