Lyrics

I Will Lay Me Down

At the battle of Wounded Knee
For the oath of Hippocrates
By the rivers of democracy
I will lay me down

On the streets, or the deep blue sea
At the beaches of Normandy
In our homes and the factories
I will lay me down

Oh lord I will lay me down
Stand with me sister on this hallowed ground
For every goal that a man bears his soul
I will lay me down

So our children are whole again
For broken pride and forgiven sin
To the triumph of peaceful men
I will lay me down

Instrumental

Oh lord I will lay me down
Stand with me sister on this hallowed ground
For every goal that a man bears his soul
I will lay me down

Oh lord I will lay me down
Stand with me sister on this hallowed ground
For every goal that a man bears his soul
I will lay me down

Oh lord I will lay me down
Stand with me sister on this hallowed ground
For every goal that a man bears his soul
I will lay me down
I For every goal that a man bears his soul
I will lay me down
For every goal that a man bears his soul
I will lay me down
