Verse 1 My soul’s worn thin from the weight I’ve carried, Every wrong turn a stone tied to my name. Chased the horizon tryin’ to outrun my shadows, But they carved their mark just the same. So I’m headin’ for that place where the broken gather, Where the weary learn how to mend. Gonna lay these chains on the healing ground, Let the breaking finally begin. Chorus (Choir rising, steel guitar bending) I’m gonna lay it down, lay it down, All the weight that’s been draggin’ my bones. Every scar, every tear I’ve swallowed whole, I’m leavin’ it here, I’m not walkin’ alone. From the darkness into light that scrubs the night clean, Into a hope that forgives my everything. I’m gonna lay it down at the healing place, And rise up unchained. Verse 2 I’ve stumbled through valleys where the dark won’t loosen, Where regret cuts deep like a thorn. But a quiet voice hums through the cracks inside me, A promise that I’m not torn. So I’m draggin’ every shadow I ever buried, Every fear that made me run. Gonna drop ’em down where the truth cuts through, Let the healing finally come. Chorus (Bigger choir, steel guitar soaring) I’m gonna lay it down, lay it down, All the weight that’s been draggin’ my bones. Every scar, every tear I’ve swallowed whole, I’m leavin’ it here, I’m not walkin’ alone. From the darkness into light that scrubs the night clean, Into a hope that calls my name. I’m gonna lay it down at the healing place, And rise up unchained again. Bridge (Call‑and‑response) Lead: All my wrongs… Choir: Lay ’em down. Lead: All my pain… Choir: Lay it down. Lead: Every burden on my soul… Choir: Let it go, let it go. Lead: I’m ready now to breathe again… Choir: Rise again, rise again. Final Chorus (Full choir, big gospel lift) I’m gonna lay it down, lay it down, All the weight that’s been draggin’ my bones. Every scar, every tear I’ve swallowed whole, I’m leavin’ it here, I’m not walkin’ alone. From the darkness into light that scrubs the night clean, Into a hope that’s deep and true. I’m gonna lay it down at the healing place, And rise up unchained.
