Set Them Down

I opened up to your religion
I prayed

I walked a mile in your shoes
Forgive or forget
There’s so much to lose

How can we be what we’re meant to be
If they’re always pushing
How can we say what we’re meant to say
If they’re always in our way

We have had to carry our emotions around
We would like to get the chance to set them down
We have had to carry our emotions around
We would like to get the chance to set them down

I walked away
I knew that I could
Shelter and comfort
Abundant and good

Now I can be what I want to be
It was always inside me
Now they can see what they’re meant to see
It’s the inside of me

We have had to carry our emotions around
We would like to get the chance to set them down
We have had to carry our emotions around
We would like to get the chance to set them down
