[00:00.00]07 : Lay It Down (Song for a Prodigal)
[00:00.01](Nichole Nordeman)
[00:00.71]To every son and daughter
[00:04.59]Wayward and long gone
[00:08.48]The love of a father
[00:12.40]Will leave the light on
[00:24.21]Tried to throw you off track
[00:28.22]A needle in a haystack
[00:31.43]I don't know how you found me
[00:35.63]Or why you let me come back
[00:39.03]'Cause it's a long way home when all you're left to carry
[00:46.63]Is a heart of stone and the weight of most the world
[00:53.68]And I'd like to?
[00:55.95]Lay it down a little
[00:59.89]Lay it down a lot
[01:02.82]I don't want to hold it anymore
[01:07.38]Lay it down in pieces
[01:11.41]Lay it down in whole
[01:14.46]Everything I've carried on my own
[01:18.89]Lay it down, lay it down
[01:22.94]Lay it down, lay it down
[01:29.08]I spent your money
[01:33.13]Living on the fringes
[01:36.84]But you threw a party for me
[01:40.68]Invited all your big friends
[01:43.23]And I have learned a little bit about a heavy load
[01:50.85]All that gleams and glitters is not worth its weight in gold
[01:58.61]And I know I should?
[02:00.73]Lay it down a little
[02:04.60]Lay it down a lot
[02:07.75]I don't want to hold it anymore
[02:12.73]Lay it down in pieces
[02:16.73]Lay it down in whole
[02:19.92]Everything I've carried on my own
[02:24.35]Lay it down, lay it down
[02:28.10]Lay it down, lay it down
[02:48.50]Lay it down a little
[02:52.20]Lay it down a lot
[02:55.19]I don't want to hold it anymore
[03:00.04]Lay it down in pieces
[03:03.67]Lay it down in whole
[03:07.04]Everything I've carried on my own
[03:11.34]Lay it down, lay it down
[03:15.27]Lay it down, lay it down
[03:19.40]Lay it down, lay it down
[03:23.26]Lay it down, lay it down
[03:29.15]To every son and daughter
[03:33.33]Wayward and long gone
