Meredith Brooks - Lay Down lyrics

rate me

(feat. Queen Latifah)

[Meredith]

[1:]

Lay down, lay down

Lay it all down

?Let your wife? put a smile on

All the ones who stand and frown

[Repeat 1]

[Latifah]

Stand and frown

You need to know

So c'mon

[Meredith]

[2:]

We were so close, there was no room

Bled inside, each other's wound

We all had caught the same disease

We all sang the songs of peace

[Latifah]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

C'mon

Lay it down now

[Repeat 1]

[Repeat 1]

[Latifah]

What if I told you you were stupid

Destructive, solace, callous, murderous

Malignant, belligerent, ignorant

Would you believe me, would you like that?

Or would you prove me wrong and fight back?

I'd like to take the sunshine right from the sky

And let it shine on you through my eyes

See we all in the same boat tryin' to float

So everybody grab a ore, we could make it to shore

For sure

[Repeat 1]

[Repeat 1]

[Latifah]

C'mon, c'mon

Uh

[Repeat 2]

[Latifah]

What you mean

What you mean

[Meredith]

Some came to see

Some came to pray

Some came to keep the dark away

[Meredith (Latifah)]

So raise the candles high

Cuz if ya don't, we could fade black against the night (light it up)

Oh, raise them higher again (higher again, c'mon)

And if ya do, we could be dry against the rain (uh, yeah)

[Repeat 1 to fade]
