Lyrics

#VERSE
Met a music man floating through town
Sang us song heard his tears fallin down
So I took him to a pie shop
And offered him to sit a while
He said, I’ve been around the block a couple of times
Little long in the tooth and it suits me just fine
But I saw the light dim in his eyes
You're looking tired, my friend

#CHORUS
So if you wanna lay your burden down
Cast off the load you're carrying around
I’m here for you, I'll listen to you

#VERSE
As a child my own voice was a stranger to me
And the loneliness grew to be all I could see
Til’ the light from an open door drew me gently in
She said stay for a day, for a week, for a year
Til’ you find what it is that you’re seeking my dear
With a voice warm and safe, she said to me

#CHORUS
So if you wanna lay your burden down
Cast off the load you're carrying around
I’m here for you, I'll listen to you

#BRIDGE
Sometimes all you need is your voice to be heard
When your heart feels like it’s broken
If you need space to find the words
You’re safe here to break wide open

#CHORUS
So if you wanna lay your burden down
Cast off the load you're carrying around
I’m here for you, I'll listen to you

#CHORUS REPRISE
And if you wanna shout your joy outloud
Sing all the love that you have found
I’ll sing it with you, I’ll sing it with you
