Our world is hurt. Discouragement is everywhere. It can really feel like the wide world is against you.
Keep making it to the next moment. This song, like the rest of the project, is timeless in its guidance.
lyrics
If a butterfly doesn't fly anymore
If a bird doesn't reach to a soar
If a lion doesn't sound with roar
You know it makes me wanna lay down
If you look in the sky and never see blue
If a man and a woman stop saying I do I do
And I look around and no one cares
You know it makes me wanna lay down
When the world has turned its back on you
Makes you wanna lay
Taking a step but your feet are too sore
And you knock knock knocking, and there's no open door
And all the walls come tumbling down
Don't lay down
When the world has turned its back on you
Makes you wanna lay down
Don't lay down
Now there'll be times when life has gone and passed you by
Get on your knees and pray to God cause he will tell you
And you ask yourself have I done all I can to make a change
Keep your head up, you got to rearrange
If you gotta lay down, please don't stay down
If you're gonna lay down, find your way back
