I've raised my head and set myself In the eye of a storm in the belly of a whale My spirit stood on solid ground I'll be at peace when they lay me down
When I was a child I cried Until my needs were satisfied My needs have grown pound for pound I'll be a peace when they lay me down
When they lay me down someday My soul will rise and fly away This whole world will turn around I'll be at peace when they lay me down
This life isn't fair it seems It's filled with tears and broken dreams There are no tears where I am bound And I'll be at peace when they lay me down
When they lay me down someday My soul will rise and fly away This whole world will turn around I'll be at peace when they lay me down
When they lay me down someday My soul will rise and fly away This whole world will turn around I'll be at peace when they lay me down
