LAY DOWN LAY DOWN
LAY IT ALL DOWN
LET YOUR WHITE
BIRDS SMILE UP
AT THE ONES
WHO STAND AND FROWN
WE WERE SO CLOSE
THERE WAS NO ROOM
WE BLED INSIDE
EACH OTHER'S WOUNDS
WE ALL HAD CAUGHT
THE SAME DISEASE
WE ALL SANG
THE SONGS OF PEACE
LAY DOWN LAY DOWN
LAY IT ALL DOWN
LET YOUR WHITE
BIRDS SMILE UP
AT THE ONES
WHO STAND AND FROWN
SO RAISE
THE CANDLES HIGH
'CAUSE IF YOU DON'T
WE COULD STAY BLACK
AGAINST THE NIGHT
OH OH RAISE
THEM HIGHER AGAIN
AND IF YOU DO
WE COULD STAY
DRY AGAINST THE RAIN
LAY DOWN LAY DOWN
LAY IT ALL DOWN
LET YOUR WHITE
BIRDS SMILE UP
AT THE ONES
WHO STAND AND FROWN
WE WERE SO CLOSE
THERE WAS NO ROOM
WE BLED INSIDE
EACH OTHER'S WOUNDS
WE ALL HAD CAUGHT
THE SAME DISEASE
WE ALL SANG
THE SONGS OF PEACE
SOME CAME TO SING
SOME CAME TO PRAY
SOME CAME TO KEEP
THE DARK AWAY
SO RAISE
THE CANDLES HIGH
'CAUSE IF YOU DON'T
WE COULD STAY BLACK
AGAINST THE SKY
OH OH RAISE
THEM HIGHER AGAIN
AND IF YOU DO
WE COULD STAY
DRY AGAINST THE RAIN
LET YOUR WHITE
BIRDS SMILE UP
AT THE ONES
WHO STAND AND FROWN
YOU'VE GOTTA
LAY DOWN LAY DOWN
LAY IT ALL DOWN
LET YOUR WHITE
BIRDS SMILE UP
AT THE ONES
WHO STAND AND FROWN
YOU'VE GOTTA
LAY DOWN LAY DOWN
LAY IT ALL DOWN
LET YOUR WHITE
BIRDS SMILE UP
AT THE ONES
WHO STAND AND FROWN
OH LA LA LAY DOWN
LAY DOWN
LAY IT ALL DOWN
LET YOUR WHITE
BIRDS SMILE UP
AT THE ONES
WHO STAND AND FROWN
OOH
OOH OOH
OOH OOH OOH HOO
