Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Let me retell a story of old
'Bout a man named Moses who lived long ago
He prophesied good, he prophesied bad
Now that prophecy's comin' to pass
[Verse 2]
Let all your sons, and your daughters
Of the golden calf
[Verse 3]
Lay down your burden of sorrow
Lay down your burden of hurt
Lay it all down, for paradise here on earth
[Verse 4]
A whole lot of people, including myself
Thought the story of Moses was just a tall tale
But all of the things that we see goin' on
Are just what Moses set down
[Verse 5]
Let all your sons, and your daughters
Of the golden calf
[Verse 6]
Lay down your burden of sorrow
Lay down your burden of hurt
Lay it all down, for paradise here on earth
[Verse 7]
Let me retell a story of old
'Bout a man named Moses who lived long ago
He prophesied good, he prophesied bad
Now that prophecy's coming to pass
[Verse 8]
Let all your sons, and your daughters
Of the golden calf
[Verse 9]
Lay down your burden of sorrow
Lay down your burden of hurt
Lay down your burden of sorrow
Lay down your burden of hurt
[Verse 10]
Lay down your burden of sorrow
Lay down your burden of hurt
I just can't imagine a reason for sorrow
Just can't imagine the hurt
[Verse 11]
You've got to lay it down
You've got to lay it down
You've got to lay it down
You've got to lay it down
[Verse 12]
I said lay down your burden of sorrow
Lay down your burden of hurt
Lay down your burden of sorrow
There's just no reason to hurt
[Verse 13]
You've got to lay it down your burden of sorrow
Lay down your burden of hurt
I said lay it all down, for paradise here on earth
