Lay Me Down​H​an​son

I'll never walk away from this
I'll pull you closely to my chest
With a father's breaking heart
I'll walk you one last time into the dark

There are no reasons to explain
A silent killer bears no blame
There are no answers though I pray
I die though this is not my grave

And I lay you down
Lay you down

I'll carry you child
To a place where you can rest
Sweet tears that seep into the linens
As I put you down to bed

It tears me into pieces watching you
Fight to fill your lungs with breath
There's no need to struggle
There's no need to struggle

I lay you down
Lay you down
Don't you cry no more
I'll lay me down
Lay me down

Well, I'm not ready
I'm not ready for this
Oh, well, I'm not ready
I'm not ready for this

There are no branches from this soil
My broken spirit steals my voice
I have no secrets to my name
Only the shadows hide my shame

And so I lift you upon my shoulder
Inside a splintered wooden chest
To Avalon we line the streets
I only hope that you'll finally rest

I'm not ready for this
I'll lay you down
Lay you down
Don't you cry no more

I'll lay me down
Lay me down
I'd gladly lay me down
Lay me down

​H​an​son

With 20+ years under their belts as a band, brothers Isaac, Taylor, and Zac Hanson have definitely made their mark! Five years building a fanbase as an independent band led to a meteoric rise in 1997 as they released their first commercial single, “MMMBop,” from their debut album Middle of Nowhere. The catchy, bubblegum pop appeal of the song helped make the band a household name.

A long line of hits and studio albums, multiple Grammy nominations and over 16 million album sales worldwide followed.

The band now runs an independent label while maintaining a “coveted connection with their global fanbase.”
