[Intro]
Leave your burdens behind
Leave your burdens behind
Oh, let your spirit be free from gravity
Leave your burdens behind

God is waiting for you
God is waiting for you
Oh, there's no need to be in uncertainty
God is waiting for you

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
Love will live in repose
Love will live in repose
Oh, let your leisure zone be your cornerstone
Love will live in repose
[Verse 2]
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."

[Chorus]
Take a load off your feet
Take a load off your feet
Oh, turn your misery into ecstasy
Take a load off your feet

[Outro]
We will give it to you
We will give it to you
Oh, sleep is purified, sweet and sanctified (We will give it to you)
Oh, sleep is purified, sweet and sanctified (We will give it to you)
Oh, sleep is purified, sweet and sanctified (We will give it to you)
Oh, we will give it to you
