[Verse] I’m dragging stones up a hill so steep Hands bruised and calloused I can't find sleep The load’s too heavy The road’s too tight But they said His burden His burden is light [Chorus] Why am I breaking Breaking my back When the yoke is easy There’s no need for that Lay it down Lay it down He’ll carry the fight I’m done with the struggle I’ll carry light [Verse 2] I built a tower with my own two hands Stacked it high like I’d understand But the higher I climbed The harder I fell His whisper called me out of my shell [Prechorus] “Drop the hammer Leave the bricks Trade the weight for grace that sticks” [Chorus] Why am I breaking Breaking my back When the yoke is easy There’s no need for that Lay it down Lay it down He’ll carry the fight I’m done with the struggle I’ll carry light [Bridge] The sky splits open The rain pours down I’m not drowning I’m not bound The arms that hold me They’re strong and kind His love lifts the weight from my mind
