[Verse 1]
Stranger
Weary traveler
Here's some water
Brother sister
Rest your shoulders
Been a long night
But it's almost over
[Chorus]
His yoke is easy
His burden is light
Lay down your troubles
To the Giver of life
[Verse 2]
Sailor
There's lighthouse
In the distance
Storm's a blowin'
Seas a ragin'
But you can make it
Sail on my friend
Sail on, sail on
[Chorus]
His yoke is easy
His burden is light
Lay down your troubles
To the Giver of life
[Chorus]
Oh His yoke is easy
His burden is light
Lay down your troubles
To the Giver of life
[Bridge]
Open your heart up
Open your mind up
Open your spirit
O can you hear it?
Open your soul
To the love of God
Play on
The music played on
Oo
Oo
[Bridge 2]
Transform my mind out of the renewing of Your Spirit God
I lay it down. Lay it down, lay it down, lay it down
Every burden on my heart lay it down. Lay it down, lay it down, lay it down
Every burden on my mind lay it down. Lay it down, lay it down, lay it down
All my anxieties I lay it down. Lay it down, lay it down, lay it down
[Chorus]
His yoke is easy (whoo)
His burden is light
My Spirit Is Light In Your Presence God
Lay down your troubles
Oh to the Giver of life
He's the Giver of life
[Outro]
His yoke is easy
Oh His burden is light
I can feel Him working in my life, in my life
Lay down your troubles in my troubles God, every trouble Lord
To the Giver of life
To the Giver of life
Easy
Song Meaning
We The Kingdom opens "Easy" by naming who the song is for before naming who it's about — "stranger, weary traveler, here's some water... brother, sister, rest your shoulders, been a long night, but it's almost over." Only after that welcome does the chorus arrive with its source text: "His yoke is easy, His burden is light," lifted directly from Matthew 11:30, Jesus' own invitation to the weary.
The seafaring verse — "sailor, there's a lighthouse in the distance... storm's a blowin', seas a ragin', but you can make it" — keeps the exhaustion concrete rather than abstract, giving the promise something specific to answer. "Lay down your troubles to the Giver of life" turns Jesus' invitation into an action rather than just a comfort to hear.
The bridge's repeated "lay it down" borrows Romans' language about the mind being renewed, applying it line by line to specific burdens — heart, mind, anxieties — until the outro simply restates the yoke and the burden one more time, now addressed to someone who's actually set something down.
