lyrics

The Lamb Lays Down
Tom Ward

Though we might insist, we can't hold on to the things we missed.
Then we have to part, even though it's against the heart.
Knowing that's the way every story tends to play,
Doesn't mean it will ever feel okay.

The lamb lays down, the princess sleeps tonight, and the
New queen awakes the lioness to greet the light.

It's shining on you; the sun searches its reflection.
It's following you, a mere shadow of perfection.
It stays by your side, avoiding any misdirection.
You serve as its guide to shine light on your way.

When the time comes to go, a sad song fills the radio.
Treasured by-gone years, I feel my eyes welling up with tears.
Still within love's reach, though too far away for me.
We all sail on the sea of destiny.

The lamb lays down, the princess sleeps tonight, and the
New queen awakes the lioness to greet the light.

It's shining on you; the sun searches its reflection.
It's following you, a mere shadow of perfection.
It stays by your side, avoiding any misdirection.
You serve as its guide to shine light on your way.

It keeps shining on you, in everything that you do.
It keeps shining on you.
