Lay Your Burden Down

I wrote this.

lyrics:

come on and lay your burden down
cause there've been days when I would do the same.
if I only knew what the future held for me
if you only knew what it held for you

you don't wanna feel defeated
before your feet are even on the ground.
you got pressure pushing all around.
and you don't wanna run away,
you just want somebody there
to listen to what you say.

well come on and lay your burden down
cause there've been days when I would do the same.
if I only knew what the future held for me
if you only knew what it held for you.
come on and leave it all behind
cause we all have pain that just don't go away
and what would I do if you broke and came to me?
what would you do if I came to you?

tired of living on the edge.
you need a hand to help you out of this pit that you've been in,
and what you want's already yours.
you don't have to spend your whole life paying for your sins.

Steve...this song is off the charts good. I hope you know how beautiful it is.

I think it's the first song I posted on youtube. I'm really glad you like it. =) btw, not sure if my messages on youtube have been going through lately, there has been something screwy happening when I try to send messages. But I'm quite alive and well, just very busy with school starting and all.

Your voice is a lot better than I remember. Wow. I also like this song a lot better than your other songs I have heard before... Although off the top of my head, I can't actually remember any of the other ones you've written...  But in any case, this one is just really amazing.

Maybe sometime we could get together and share songs we've written. I've written a few on guitar myself, but only a few of my college friends have heard them... Oh, this is Jess, btw.

Your piano is too loud and I can't hear the words clearly.
