Lay Down
New grass is green
Spring breeeze is light and sweet
Let the season play
Heavy eyelids will go down
You'll catch a wink of sleep
All the hard work now is done
Grown the children, built the house
Now you're free to follow your heart
Take a dream, the hidden one
Lay Down
Let your worries run away
Feel your breath go in, go out
Take your time to play
Tell yourself, the world can wait
There's no hurry, there's no pain
Don't be afraid to fall or fail
The Universe is here for you,
You're strong and hale
This precious life is yours, at last
Only love you've spread around
Time and struggle, you gave the world
Now good harvest time has come
Spread your wings and fly above the clouds
Don't be afraid to fall or fail
The Universe is here for you,
You're strong and hale
This precious life is yours, at last
