Lay Your Burden Down - Jon Allen

There’s a new moon on the rise

And it’s trying to catch your eye

Just a whisper in the dark of what’s to come

This old world is spinning fast

Like a train that’s flying past and it seems not even hope is holding on

Now the night feels like forever

But soon the sun will come around

Make your heart a little lighter

Darling, lay your burden down

Troubles slipped into your stride

Shook you, mixed you up inside

Stole the light that let you see that you were strong

You don’t think you’ll make it through

But if you let me carry you

I’ll take you far enough to see that you were loved

Now the night feels like forever

But soon the sun will come around

Make your heart a little lighter

Darling, lay your burden down

Though it’s dark

And I don’t know where we’re going to

Time can be cruel if you’re standing still

Now the night feels like forever

But soon the sun will come around

Make your heart a little lighter

Darling, lay your burden down
