Lay down lay down lay it all down   Let your white birds smile   At the ones who stand and frown   Lay down lay down lay it all down   Let your white birds smile   At the ones who stand and frown      We were so close there was no room   We bled inside each other's wounds   We all had caught the same disease   And we all sang the songs of peace      Lay down lay down lay it all down   Let your white birds smile   At the ones who stand and frown   Lay down lay down lay it all down   Let your white birds smile   At the ones who stand and frown      So raise candles high 'cause if you don't   We could stay black against the night   Oh raise them higher again   And if you do we could stay dry against the rain      Lay down lay down lay it all down   Let your white birds smile   At the ones who stand and frown   Lay down lay down lay it all down   Let your white birds smile   At the ones who stand and frown      We were so close there was no room   We bled inside each other's wounds   We all had caught the same disease   And we all sang the songs of peace   Some came to sing, some came to pray   Some came to keep the dark away   So raise candles high 'cause if you don't   We could stay black against the sky   Oh oh raise them higher again   And if you do we could stay dry against the rain      Lay down lay down lay it all down   Let your white birds smile   At the ones who stand and frown   Lay down lay down lay it all down   Let your white birds smile   At the ones who stand and frown   Lay down lay down lay it all down   Let your white birds smile   At the ones who stand and frown   Lay down lay down lay it all down   Let your white birds smile   At the ones who stand and frown...
