The Lyrics
There's a weight you've been carrying alone
A quiet kind of hurt you've never shown
You wear a smile so no one ever sees
How tired you are of holding all of these things
But you were never meant to bear this on your own
You don't have to face it all alone
So lay it down, just lay it down
Let the weight fall to the ground
Whatever's held you all this time
Give it up and you will find
A peace you haven't felt in years
A God who's fighting all your fears
So lay it down, you'll finally see
Let it go, and you'll be free
Maybe it's a habit you can't break
A trust that someone shattered, a mistake
Maybe it's the anger, fear, or shame
You've carried like it's yours to bear and blame
You don't have to earn a place to rest
Just open up the hands across your chest
So lay it down, just lay it down
Let the weight fall to the ground
Whatever's held you all this time
Give it up and you will find
A peace you haven't felt in years
A God who's fighting all your fears
So lay it down, you'll finally see
Let it go, and you'll be free
Whatever weight you carry, whatever name
The grief, the guilt, the years you've lived in shame
You don't have to hold it on your own
Just lay it down and come home
Just lay it down and let it go
You're free, you're free.
