Lay me Down
Joseph Grady and the Farm Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This looks like my day
To myself I'd often say
The winds of change are here
Don't give up don't have any fear
Cos you know you've got it

Don't ever let them get you down
Don't ever let them push you around
(You've got to)
Stand up and fight and be counted
(You've got to)
Stand up and fight and be counted

This looks like my day
To myself I'd often say
The winds of change are here
Don't give up don't have any fear
Cos you know you've got it

Don't ever let them get you down
Don't ever let them push you around
Don't ever let them get you down
Don't ever let them push you around
(You've got to)
Stand up and fight and be counted
(You've got to)
Stand up and fight and be counted
(You've got to)
Stand up and fight and be counted




(You've got to)
Stand up and fight and be counted
