Երգի խոսքեր
[Verse 1] I came in bent low With the world on my back Old coat on the chair And a list in my lap Had a mouth full of grit Had a hand full of rain Kept the door cracked open Even through all that pain You said, “Sit down here” And you slid me a plate One hard look, one soft word Like, “Boy, it ain’t too late” So I set it right there All that weight I was draggin’ Folded up my pride Let it stop all the draggin’ [Pre-Chorus] Mm, I can breathe now I can hear my own name Mm, the room got warmer When I set down the shame [Chorus] Put it down, put it down Lay that burden down Put it down, put it down Let it touch the ground (put it down, put it down) I came here to rest Put it down, put it down You can do your best [Verse 2] Second dedication For the ones who stayed near When my voice went thin And my vision ain’t clear Mama kept the lamp lit By the sink at night Brother kept the porch step Like a guard in the light And you, with your small hands In the middle of storm You said, “We can carry What was never meant to harm” So I passed you the iron I passed you the stone Then I watched all that heavy Turn to dust on the road [Pre-Chorus] Mm, I can breathe now I can hear my own name Mm, the room got warmer When I set down the shame [Chorus] Put it down, put it down Lay that burden down Put it down, put it down Let it touch the ground (put it down, put it down) I came here to rest Put it down, put it down You can do your best [Verse 3] Third dedication now To the night I survived To the ones who are limpin’ Still choosing life To the church-basement echo To the bent old chair To the cup of cold water And the hands that care I don’t need a crown I don’t need a shout Just a little more mercy When the dark runs out So I leave what I can’t hold By the foot of the bed And I rise in the morning With a softer head [Bridge] Tell me who said You had to carry it all? Tell me who said You should keep standin’ so small? I been there I been bruised by the climb But the floor is forgiving When you finally unwind [Final Chorus] Put it down, put it down Lay that burden down Put it down, put it down Let it touch the ground (put it down, put it down) I came here to rest Put it down, put it down You can do your best Put it down, put it down Lay that burden down Put it down, put it down Let it touch the ground (put it down, put it down) I came here to rest Put it down, put it down You can do your best
