lyrics

When you find your brother in the eyes of another one
like when our friends and others cross the line we get stuck upon
when you through your covers and you lay down your disguise
the one who suffers they've got nowhere else to hide
lay down your hands
lay down your heart

When you see your sister long lost before now
and you know you've missed her and you both feel this somehow
for the wells you wish her for the time you've been apart
may see to the world a whisper but you know that it's a start
to lay down your hand
lay down your heart

When you feel your Father feel him in all his joy and pain
and you know that you've come after to journey on the same
When you hear your Mother in the stories she told
with her love for others and the hearts that we hold
lay down your hands
lay down your heart
