about

Super, Dolly-Parton-esque track of mine from 2005 - about the confusion of growing up, attempting to find one's own identity and prove oneself (ah, those were the days!).

lyrics

Lay it All Down

You’re young, you’re making your way,
You plunge into the void,
And though adulthood is here to stay,
Of common sense you’re utterly devoid;
You never mind, you enjoy the good times
Of carefree living and love all around
Hey, hey, you hum your own tune,
And life is pretty good, and you don’t give a damn,
But you need a firework to get off the ground
Say the family, what can you be thinking?
They don’t seem to be proud of who I am
Why should I lay it all down, why should I let it be?
I’m gonna turn it around, and I’m gonna find me

Life moves in a roundabout way;
Times when you can’t see the daylight on the horizon
Oh, you are, you are, you’re so sore
From banging your head against the wall
Oh, my Lord, what have I done?
I know that I can be proud of who I am
Why should I lay it all down, lay it all down now?
There’s no word as “can’t”, but I gotta think hard

Life takes an exemplary turn;
Hang in there, there’ll come the day
When a ceremony in your honour resounds with applause
And people are queuing to meet you at the door
Oh, my Lord, look what I’ve done
I know that I can be proud of who I am
Now I lay it all down, I lay it all down now,
I’ve proved what I can, and now I lay myself down
Now I lay it all down, lay it all down
Na na na na na na……
