Lanterns on the Lake - I Will Lay You Down

You've got to trust yourself.
You are your only hope.
There is no guiding light.
There is no holy force.
Do what you've got to do.
Be all you can.
There is no calling or divine plan.
I don't need a prophet to tell me their lies.
All hail to the one I'll love till I die.
At least he's here and knows how to dance when you're afraid.

I'll lay you down.
I will bring you flowers.
I'll lay you down.
I will bring you flowers.

So you're tired;
your heart beats in ways you can't explain.
Take all you need.
Give all you have.
I know you've been too far between.
You don't need a prophet,
... saved from above.
Just be all you can,
you've got to do what you love.
At least that's real, and you'll know how to dance when you're afraid.

I'll lay you down.
I will bring you flowers.
I'll lay you down.
I will bring you flowers.

Say what you like,
oh I'm only the life that I bleed.
And say what you like,
oh I'm only the songs that I breathe.
You've got to trust yourself.

I will bring you flowers.
