And we all sang the songs of peace Some came to sing
Some came to pray Some came to keep the dark away
Lay down, lay down Lay it on down
Let your white bird smile up At the ones who stand and frown
You gotta lay down, lay down Lay it on down
Let your white bird smile up At the ones who stand and frown
So raise the candles high
Cause if you don't we could stay black against the night
You gotta raise them higher again
And if you do we could stay dry against the rain
Lay down, lay down Lay it on down
Let your white bird smile up At the ones who stand and frown
You gotta lay down, lay down Lay it on down
Let your white bird smile up At the ones who stand and frown
Lay down, lay down
And then they lit a fire to the soul who never knew he had a friend
So raise the candles high
Cause if you don't we could stay black against the night
You gotta raise them higher again
And if you do we could stay dry against the rain
Lay down, lay down Lay it on down
Let your white bird smile up At the ones who stand and frown
Lay down, lay down Lay it on down
Let your white bird smile up At the ones who stand and frown
Lay down, lay down Lay it on down
