Laysong

Oh, but then what shall we sing?

Tell us, oh, but then what shall we sing now?

When we gather together

With a hard week going and a hard week coming

To catch our breath

Lay song

What relief can you bring?

Tell us, oh, what relief can you bring now?

That our souls are untethered

And nothing's sacred or profane

We're out of breath

Lay song, be our breather

What's that about your lover?

I have a lover to preach

What's that about your troubled mind?

My mind is troubled

My mind is troubled and so is my lover's

What's that about the enemy?

I had enough of him for the week

So let's drown out the enemy

Drown out the enemy

Listen, we're gonna drown out the enemy

One, two, three, lay singer

Gonna drown out the enemy

Drown out the enemy

Drown out the enemy

What's that about your lover?

Oh, let your medicine ring

We need it, oh, let your medicine ring out

Over hell or high water

We hear you coming, we pray you're going

To catch our breath

Lay song, be our breather

Bring us together

Help us remember

Those with no breath left to sing
