Come and lay your burdens down

Here at my feet.

Come and rest in my presence,

I will bring you peace.

Stay here a while.

Talk with me, child.

Take off your strong face,

Let go of your wild.

Cry to me, scream,

Do what you need.

You think I don’t hear you.

You think I don’t care.

I let you go through

Too much to bear.

I want you to know,

I count all the tears.

I see your burdens.

I hold your fears.

Don’t give up today.

I’m paving your way-

and patching the seams.

Behind every sorrow,

I am working on your tomorrow.

And I am cheering the loudest

while you fulfill your dreams.
