Lay That Story Down

Maybe you believe someone hurt you. Maybe you think you failed.
Maybe you believe it’s too late; your ship’s already sailed.
It all seems real, but it’s really no more than your story.

MIDDLE SECTION:
Lay that story down, child. Lay that story down, down, down.
Life was hard; you deserve compassion.
But lay that story down, child. Lay that story down, down, down.
Don’t let it poison the life you want to fashion.

CHORUS:
Say: I can. I’m safe. I’m understood.
I’m loved. I’m beautiful. I deserve my good.
I forgive. I heal. I surrender the past.
I have. I choose. I’m free… free at last.

Maybe you believe you’re not pretty. Maybe you think you’re not smart.
Maybe you believe that love dies so you’ve learned to guard your heart.
It all seems real, but it’s really no more than your story.

REPEAT MIDDLE SECTION

REPEAT CHORUS

INSTRUMENTAL

What’s your story now, child? What’s your story now, now, now?
Life is good. Anything can happen.
What’s your story now, child? What’s your story now, now, now?
Tell the story of the life you want to fashion.

Say:
(Sing 3x)
I can. I’m safe. I’m understood.
I’m loved. I’m beautiful. I deserve my good.
I forgive. I heal. I surrender the past.
I have. I choose. I’m free…

I’m free at last. I’m free at last. I’m free…
