Lay Down Your Shield - Elijah Ray



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

I am ... I said - Neil Diamond


La's fine, sunshine most of the time
The feeling is laid back
Palm trees grow and the rents are low
But you know I keep thinking about
Making my way back

Well, I'm New York City born and raised
But nowadays, I'm lost between two shores
La's fine, but it ain't home
New York's home but it ain't mine no more

I am, I said
To no one there
And no one heard at all
Not even the chair
I am, I cried
I am, said I
And I am lost, and I can't even say why
Leavin' me lonely still

Did you ever read about a frog who dreamed of being a king
And then became one
Well, except for the names and a few other changes
If you talk about me, the story's the same one

But I got an emptiness deep inside
And I've tried but it won't let me go
And I'm not a man who likes to swear
But I've never cared for the sound of being alone

I am, I said
To no one there
And no one heard at all
Not even the chair
I am, I cried
I am, said I
And I am lost, and I can't even say why
