Lay You Down<\/i> is a lullaby for grown-ups. It’s my “we’re all going to be alright” song \u23e4 my reminder never to give up hope and to never fear failure. Most importantly, it reminds me to strive to live each moment with all the passion I can muster because they flash into our consciousness and then slip away in a heartbeat.<\/p>

I dedicate this song to all the restless, sleepless children of the wanderlust brigade. May you always follow the light to find your way back home.<\/p>

A very special thanks to Kenni Holmen <\/a>for his artistry, soulfulness and amazing freaking tone on the soprano. Kenni, you are a joy to work with and the consummate pro. Let’s do it again soon.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

There\u2019s a light that shines for every one of us
So bright, at times we look away
There\u2019s a risk of giving in to our wanderlust
A fear, of living life that way
You know, it\u2019s up to you, to live the life you choose
But you can\u2019t win unless you sometimes lose<\/p>\n

So lay you down, rest your weary head
And close your eyes, sweet dreams tonight instead of feelin\u2019 blue
Feel this moment now, before it slips away<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a time, a time when you\u2019ll discover that
It\u2019s not so hard to make it through these darker days
There\u2019s a path, that\u2019s traveled by a sacred few
So close to you, you\u2019ll always find your way
But rest now, you sleepless child, and put to bed your inner wild
Dreams of wonder, dreams of happiness<\/p>\n

Just lay you down, rest your weary head
And close your eyes, sweet dreams tonight instead of feelin\u2019 blue
Feel this moment now, before it slips away<\/p>\n

And if ever I should see you
Acting like you didn\u2019t care
I will fill you up; drink from the lovin\u2019 cup
The magic potion if you dare<\/p>\n
