Lay down, lay down, lay it all down
Let your white birds smile up on the ones who stand and frown
Lay down, lay down, lay it all down
Let your white birds smile up on the ones who stand and frown
We were so close, there was no room
We bled inside each other's wounds
We all had caught the same disease
We all sang the songs of peace
Lay down, lay down, lay it all down
Let your white birds smile up on the ones who stand and frown
Lay down, lay down, lay it all down
Let your white birds smile up on the ones who stand and frown
What if I told you you were stupid, destructive, soulless
Callous, murderous, malignant, belligerent, ignorant
Would you believe me, would you like that
Or would you prove me wrong and fight back
I'd like to take the sunshine right from the sky
And let it shine on you through my eyes
You see we all in the same boat trying to float
So everybody grab a oar we can make it to shore
Lay down, lay down, lay it all down
Let your white birds smile up on the ones who stand and frown
Lay down, lay down, lay it all down
Let your white birds smile up on the ones who stand and frown

We were so close, there was no room
We bled inside each other's wounds
We all had caught the same disease
We all sang the songs of peace
Some came to sing, some came to pray
Some came to keep the dark away
Raise the candles high
Cause if you don't we could stay black against the night
Raise them higher again
And if you do we could stay dry against the rain
Lay down, lay down, lay it all down
Let your white birds smile up on the ones who stand and frown
Lay down, lay down, lay it all down
Let your white birds smile up on the ones who stand and frown
