When you were with me, I'd hear you say
That it's all okay and you are doing well
Then I'd see you, in the fight
That armour only serves to weigh you down
Let me help you to place that shield on the ground
So you can stand
And may it be that you'll leave your burdens, set your spirit free
You can let your spirit glide
You can set your soul free
You can lay your burdens down and then
Let your spirit glide, and glide
You can set your soul free
You can let your spirit glide
You can spread your wings and fly into the night
You can let your spirit glide
I'd believe you, 'cos I've been there
Don't want to cause anybody harm
So we hide away, with thoughts of yesterday and we
Make up stories of how we've been
So let me help as you place that shield back on the ground
So you can stand
I promise you we can leave your sorrows
Set your spirit free
You can lay that shield down
You can set your soul free
You can lay your burdens down and then
Let your spirit glide, and glide
You can let your spirit glide
You can set your soul free
You can spread your wings and fly
Let your spirit glide
