Lyrics
It's heavy-lay your burden down
It's heavy-lay your burden down
Brother, can't you see stars in the night
Brother, can't you see stars in the night
There's a road up yonder far beyond the light
Take a ride this morning on a slow train through the sky
Take a ride this morning on a slow train through the sky
My life is just a fast train, gone in the blink of an eye
It's heavy-lay your burden down
It's heavy-lay your burden down
Felt the hand last Sunday when the stars refused to shine
Felt the hand last Sunday when the stars refused to shine
I'm just a young man, I don't feel like dying
It's heavy-lay your burden down
It's heavy-lay your burden down
Can't you hear the angels screaming or is it all my head
Can't you hear the angels screaming or is it all my head
I'm looking out my window and the sky is blood red
The sky is blood red
The sky is blood red
You got to lay your burden down
Lay your burden down
It's heavy

Can't you hear the angels screaming or is it all my head

The sky is blood red
The sky is blood red
