lyrics

LAY DOWN YOUR SHIELD


You're looking for the love again
In temporary lovers and friends
Never really looking at the one in the mirror
Do you really think you can hide?
And keep yourself locked up inside
When the sun is shining right in your eyes, my dear
There's nothing to fear
It's time to remember why we're here

I see that you have come so far
and traveled many lives and stars
just to realize who you really are
I feel you reaching out tonight
in the darkest hour comes the light
Everything is gonna be alright
I'll be with you tonight
All you have to do is let me in…

Oh, lay down
Lay down your shield
and tell me how it feels
When you look deep inside

Lay down your armor
Lay down your fear
Lay down your sword, beloved
There's no enemies here
There's no one to fight
Nothing left to defend
Cause I'm gonna love you till the end

~Instrumental break~

I'm finally on my knees again
In the temple of beloved within
My story's in the tears running down my face
It's taken me so long to see
That the love that truly sets you free
Is the love that you decide to be, my friends
It's the love that never ends
All you have to do is let it in

Lay down your shield
and tell me how you feel
when you look into my eyes
~
Lay down your shield
and tell me how it feels
when you look deep inside

Lay down your armor
Lay down your fear
Lay down your sword, beloved
There's no enemies here
There's no one to fight
Nothing left to defend
Cause I'm gonna love you till the end
