Lay Down My Guns - Sanctus Real

Well I just need a place to lay my head

Forget the chain that hangs around my neck

These guns are not as heavy as the hearts they defend

I can’t wait to get back home where I can find some rest

When I lay down my guns and lift my hands

Surrender to Love and live again

May this desert reach it’s end where my new life begins

When I lay down my guns and lift my hands

And I have seen the devil in this place

And I lost myself when my friends found the grave

When you’re this far from Heaven

It’s hard to keep the faith

I’m barely holding on I can’t wait to Lay down my guns and lift my hands

Surrender to Love and live again

May this desert reach it’s end where my new life begins

When I lay down my guns and lift my hands

And I’m laying down these burdens

Taking off the weights

And I can’t count the miles that I’ve walked to find my way

To lay down these guns

How I need to lay down these guns

Lay down my guns and lift my hands

Surrender to Love and live again

May this desert reach it’s end where my new life begins

And I’ll abandon my defenses and live to love again

When I lay down my guns and lift my hands

Lay down

Lay down

Lay down my guns
