Come to me

I see the bruises when you fall on your face,
I feel the aching when you suffer disgrace,
I know the pressure of a world-weary heart running
On empty and refusing to start,
I saw you sitting, staring out at the rain,
Thinking that you didn't have the money again,
I know you're hungry and you're missing your friends,
Don't know where to go.

Come to me,
Come to me, all you that hurt and carry heavy loads,
Come to me,
Come to me and you can lay down your head for a while.

I heard you crying when your daddy ran out,
I felt you pulling back from me in your doubt,
I know sometimes you think of jerking the plug,
Don't know where to go.

Come to me,
Come to me, all you that hurt and carry heavy loads,
Come to me,
Come to me and you can lay down your head.

I saw the things that you did that you never got the credit for,
I saw the effort that you made when they had already shut the door,
I burned with you inside when the criminals walked away,
I too see justice castrated by the law, but you can find justice in me.

Come to me,
Come to me, all you that hurt and carry heavy loads,
Come to me,
Come to me and you can lay down your head for a while,
Come to me,
Come to me, all you that hurt and carry heavy loads,
Come to me,
Come to me and you can lay down your head for a while.

Lay down your head for a while,
Lay down your head for a while,
Lay down your head for a while,
Lay down your head,
Lay down your head for a while,
Lay down your head.
