Lay It Down

Tommy's haunted by the pressure to become
The first family member to wear a cap and gown
Time it ticks and the sweat it drips down
He's longing for that tassel dangling from his golden crown

Lay it down, let it go right now
Misery loves company with those who cannot set it down
Throw your cares on Him, He'll show you how
Now's not the time to be missing out
A time to be missing out

She dreams of white picket fences and thoughts of marrying him
She believes is her existence, somebody should tell him
And now you'll find her on her knees
As Jesus takes her lonely heart and holds it tenderly

Lay it down, let it go right now
Misery loves company with those who cannot set it down
Throw your cares on Him, He'll show you how
Now's not the time to be missing out

Life's melodies can be accompanied by doubt
They start happy then comes the minor key
That brings us down

But in times of endless tragedy
He's been known to compose His best symphonies

Lay it down, let it go right now
Misery loves company with those who cannot set it down
Throw your cares on Him, He'll show you how
Now's not the time to be missing out

Down, let it go right now
Misery loves company with those who cannot set it down
Throw your cares on Him, He'll show you how
Now's not the time to be missing out

Now's not the time to be missing out
Now's not the time to be missing, to be missing out
