Lay down, lay down, lay it all down
Let your white birds smile up at the ones who stand and frown
Lay down, lay down, lay it all down
Let your white birds smile up at the ones who stand and frown
We were so close, there was no room
We bled inside each others wounds
We all had caught the same disease
And we all sang the songs of peace
Lay down, lay down, lay it all down
Let your white birds smile up at the ones who stand and frown
Lay down, lay down, lay it all down
Let your white birds smile up at the ones who stand and frown
So, raise the candles high
'Cause if you don't we could stay black against the night
Oh, raise them higher again
And if you do we could stay dry against the rain
Lay down, lay down, lay it all down
Let your white birds smile up at the ones who stand and frown
Lay down, lay down, lay it all down
Let your white birds smile up at the ones who stand and frown
We were so close, there was no room
We bled inside each other's wounds
We all had caught the same disease
And we all sang the songs of peace
Some came to sing, some came to pray
Some came to keep the dark away
So, raise the candles high (Up high)
'Cause if you don't, we could stay black against the sky
Oh, oh, raise (Raise) them higher again (Up high)
And if you do we could stay dry against the rain
Lay down, lay down, lay it all down
Let your white birds smile up at the ones who stand and frown
You've got to lay down, lay down, lay it all down
Let your white birds smile up at the ones who stand and frown
Oh, you've got to lay down, lay down, lay it all down
Let your white birds smile up at the ones who stand and frown
Oh, you've got to lay down, lay down, lay it all down
Let your white birds smile up at the ones who stand and frown

in reply to Nanook • • •I feel we’ll either hear none of that (redacted from court transcripts), or this media propaganda machine that framed Rittenhouse is going to try to convince people all of Maxwell’s testimony is false.
Don’t get me wrong, the Virginia elections and Rittenhouse trial both show the country is starting to turn back in the right direction, but we’re still close to vax-tyranny .. and parts of the world (Rotterdam) are still under lockdown tyranny
