about

Another simple song, albeit a very different one to The Redeemer. This one starts with the chorus, which I've always found quite a difficult thing to do.

Some of the lyrics are taken from Abraham Lincoln's first Presidential Address. I'm not sure why.

To me, the song is about coming to terms with your imperfections.

lyrics

Lay down your heart
And all your sorrows
Lay down your heart
And all your pain
Lay down your heart
I will follow
To the dawn
Through darkness and rain
Among the mystic chords of memory
Which stretch from field to field
To the grave and yet
In every beating chest will sing a chorus once again
Lay down your heart
And drown your sorrows
Lay down your heart
And all your pain
Lay down your heart
I will follow
To the dawn
Through darkness and rain
Through darkness and rain
For all the eyes upon your windowsill
Your secret is safe with me
To the grave and yet
As sure as any bet, you'll turn to music once again
Lay down your heart
And all your sorrow
Lay down your heart
And all your pain
Lay down your heart
I will follow
To the dawn
Through darkness and rain
To the dawn
Through darkness and rain
