To every son and daughter Wayward and long gone The love of a Father will leave the light on I tried to throw you off track A needle in the haystack And I don't know how you found me Or why you let me come back Cuz it's a long way home when all you're left to carry Is a heart of stone And the weight of most the world And I'd like to Chorus: Lay it down a little Lay it down a lot I don't want to hold it anymore Lay it down in pieces or Lay it down in whole Everything I've carried on my own Lay it down (4x) I spent your money Living on the fringes But you threw a party for me Invited all your big friends And i have learned a little bit about a heavy load All that gleams and glitters is not worth its weight in gold And I know I should Chorus (2x) To every son and daughter, wayward and long gone...
