Tommy's haunted by the pressure to become
The first family member to wear a cap and gown
Time it ticks and the sweat it drips down
He's longing for that tassel dangling from his golden crown

[Chorus:]

Lay it down, let it go right now
Misery loves company with those who cannot set it down
Throw your cares on Him, He'll show you how
Now's not the time to be missing out

She dreams of white picket fences has thoughts of marrying him
She believes is her existence, somebody should tell him
And now you'll find her on her knees
As Jesus takes her lonely heart and holds it tenderly

[Chorus]

Life's melodies can be accompanied by doubt
They start happy then comes the minor key
That brings us down
But in times of endless tragedy
He's been known to compose His best symphonies
