Lyrics
When my time is done
And my feet are getting weary
And the road that carries me
Is fading from my view
I?m gonna lay my heavy head down.
When my story is told
And I?ve reached the final chapter
And I?ve said all I need to say
This time around
I?m gonna lay my heavy head down
Take this weight I?ve carried
For so many years
Let me go where I?m going
Through your tears
I?m gonna lay my heavy head down
