| Leave your burdens behind | |
| Leave your burdens behind | |
| Let your spirit be | |
| Free from gravity | |
| Leave your burdens behind | |
| God is waiting for you | |
| God is waiting for you | |
| There's no need to be | |
| In uncertainty | |
| God is waiting for you | |
| Once I was exactly like you | |
| An empty vessel on full view | |
| I thought that there was no other way | |
| I thought the thoughts you think today | |
| My wife was sinister and unclean | |
| My children were morose and mean | |
| My discontentment was so complete | |
| My mind retreated into sleep | |
| Love will live in repose | |
| Love will live in repose | |
| Let your leisure zone | |
| Be your cornerstone | |
| Love will live in repose | |
| But soon a voice inside of a dream | |
| Said “Son you can become My Cream,” | |
| With words that echoed in me God said | |
| “White people should remain in bed.” | |
| Take a load off your feet | |
| Take a load off your feet | |
| Turn your misery | |
| Into ecstasy | |
| Take a load off your feet | |
| We will give it to you | |
| We will give it to you | |
| Sleep is purified | |
| Sweet and sanctified | |
| So we'll give it to you |
| Leave your burdens behind | |
| Leave your burdens behind | |
| Let your spirit be | |
| Free from gravity | |
| Leave your burdens behind | |
| God is waiting for you | |
| God is waiting for you | |
| There' s no need to be | |
| In uncertainty | |
| God is waiting for you | |
| Once I was exactly like you | |
| An empty vessel on full view | |
| I thought that there was no other way | |
| I thought the thoughts you think today | |
| My wife was sinister and unclean | |
| My children were morose and mean | |
| My discontentment was so complete | |
| My mind retreated into sleep | |
| Love will live in repose | |
| Love will live in repose | |
| Let your leisure zone | |
| Be your cornerstone | |
| Love will live in repose | |
| But soon a voice inside of a dream | |
| Said " Son you can become My Cream," | |
| With words that echoed in me God said | |
| " White people should remain in bed." | |
| Take a load off your feet | |
| Take a load off your feet | |
| Turn your misery | |
| Into ecstasy | |
| Take a load off your feet | |
| We will give it to you | |
| We will give it to you | |
| Sleep is purified | |
| Sweet and sanctified | |
| So we' ll give it to you |
