Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Who am I to turn to, Who is gonna know
Everything that’s hidin, way down in my soul
I got to find someone show me to the light
‘Cause I’ve been spending to much time, hiding in the night

Come on and lay me down easy soft and low, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Faces keep on changing, but the spirit stays the same
Every human being I know playing some silly game
I dreamt I saw a beacon, lighting up the way
A kind and thoughtful person, walked up to me and said

Do you love me, love me way down to your soul, yeah
Yes, I love you, I love you that’s all you need to know
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Lay me down easy, lay me down easy,
Lay me down easy soft and low

Who am I to turn to, who is gonna know
Everything that’s hidin, way down in my soul
I dreamt I saw a beacon, lighting up the way
A kind and thoughtful person, walked up to me and said
Come on and lay me down easy soft and low, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, ooh
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
