I walk down the road and carry the weight of a ton on my back
It's getting old chasing a dream well into the third act
It's time to heal, it's time to be on the other side

Lay down my head lay down and rest by the fireside

Counting on grace praying to God for a positive sign

A slap in the face each way I turn I keep losing my stride
It's time to heal, it's time for me to regain my pride
Make a new bed, lay down my head by the fireside


The fire is bright as it burns through the night
Keeping me warm and giving me light

My head in my hands, my mind standing clear
All of my longings, my hopes and my fears seems to hide
Seem to hide

Seem to hide
by the fireside


It's getting near dawn and I pack up my bag for what lies ahead
Soon I'll be gone cause I never know what's around the bend
I keep moving on hold onto the faith that I have inside

And each night I rest and lay down my head by the fireside
