You've got the whole world on your shoulders
And it's more than you can bear
I hear you calling for some help
But is there anybody there?
Well, I'm here to let you know
This was never meant for you
I know what you're going through
Come to me weary now
And I will lay you down
Throw all your cares aside
You will never be denied
Come set your burden free
You will be safe with me
Come to me weary now
I will lay you down
So don't you worry 'bout a thing
I'm gonna get you through the night
I know you're scared, but it's gonna be alright
And if you wake before the light
Don't be afraid, just call my name
I'll hear you pray, I'm on my way, yeah, yeah
So come to me weary now
And I will lay you down
Throw all your cares aside
You will never be denied
Come set your burden free
You will be safe with me
Come to me weary now
I will lay you down
Everything's alright, 'cause I am on your side
And if you need to, you can hide in me
'Cause all you need to know
I will never let you go
I'm the lover of your soul
So come to me weary now
And I will lay you down
Throw all your cares aside
You will never be denied
Come set your burden free
You will be safe with me
Come to me weary now
I will lay, I will lay you down
I'll lay you down
Yeah
