[Verse 1]
I wore my pride like gold
Thought I was built to hold
Every door I kicked
Every word I bit
My hands stayed full of dust
My heart ran out of trust
I chased a bigger name
And fed the same old flame
[Female]
You keep on carrying
That broken crown again
[Pre-Chorus]
Then the mirror cracked
And I saw my face
Not a king at all
Just a need for grace
The road got dark
But the truth got loud
I heard mercy call
Through the broken sound
[Chorus]
Lay it down, lay it down
Broken crown on the ground
Lay it down, lay it down
Grace can turn you round
He was there all along
When my strength was gone
Lay it down, lay it down
Broken crown on the ground
[Verse 2]
I met a man with scars
By the edge of town
He said, "Your worst day
Ain't where you're bound"
He showed me hands that healed
From a cross once spiked and sealed
Now I know the cost
Of love that finds the lost
[Male]
I was blind but now
I see the way home
[Female]
Not by what you earn
But by what was done
[Pre-Chorus]
Then the mirror cracked
And I saw my face
Not a king at all
Just a need for grace
The road got dark
But the truth got loud
I heard mercy call
Through the broken sound
[Chorus]
Lay it down, lay it down
Broken crown on the ground
Lay it down, lay it down
Grace can turn you round
He was there all along
When my strength was gone
Lay it down, lay it down
Broken crown on the ground
[Bridge]
If I lose my name
I won't lose my soul
If I lose my way
He still makes me whole
No throne can save me
No lie can stay
Only love can carry
A sinner home one day
[Final Chorus]
Lay it down, lay it down
Broken crown on the ground
Lay it down, lay it down
Grace can turn you round
He was there all along
When my strength was gone
Lay it down, lay it down
Broken crown on the ground
(Oh, lift me up)
(Oh, make me new)
(Oh, I belong to You)
