LYRICS:

Ich bin nur ein Bruchteil
von Einundzwanzigmillion.

Unscheinbar im Netzwerk
aber ein Helfer in der Not.

Sammle mich,
ehre mich,
halt mich ganz fest!

Liebe mich,
transferier mich nicht,
sieh wie ich wachs'!

Mit Laseraugen … Bis Hunderttausend.
Halt mich fest!

Du wolltest spielen
mit den andren – doch es hat sich nicht gelohnt.

Gib mir deine Hand
und ich zeig dir – den Weg zum Mond.

Mit Laseraugen … Bis Hunderttausend.
Mit Laseraugen … Bis Hunderttausend.
Halt mich fest!
Halt mich fest!

Unavailable Me [Radio Edit]

On the Road by Lainey Taylor

I wrote Lay Down Your Weapons in 2011 while on tour in Indonesia. I have been playing it live during the past couple of tours and there have been many requests that I release some version of it.  Because of the the senseless, ongoing gun violence that is plaguing America I felt even more acutely that I wanted this song to be available to anyone who wanted to hear it.  The lyric was not written as a political statement and is obviously a metaphor about fraught human relationships but I do feel personally there are many types of weapons out there that need to be "laid down" for good and forever.  Thank you for listening.
