You must be tired, young man
Trying to do the best you can
It is hard to understand
What life's all about
Taking each day at a time
Hoping and praying you will find
A special touch of love divine
To heal your doubts
Mr. Brokenhearted
Lay down your cares
Mr. Brokenhearted
Lay down your cares
Feeling alone in a crowd
A friend is someone you've just heard about
You want to know if somebody cares for you
My Lord understands
He really knows what you're going through
You see, He has been brokenhearted, too, oh...
Mr. Brokenhearted
Lay down your cares
Are you listening
Mr. Brokenhearted
Lay down your cares
Mr. Brokenhearted
You must be tired, young man
Trying to find out who you are
Where are you going
Don't run away, oh, no
Mr. Brokenhearted
Lay down your cares
I'm talking to you
Mr. Brokenhearted
Lay down your cares
Oh, Mr. Brokenhearted
Lay down your cares
Lay 'em down
Mr. Brokenhearted, Mr
Lay down your cares
Somebody cares for you
Mr. Brokenhearted
Lay down your cares
Lay 'em on down, lay 'em on down
Mr. Brokenhearted
Carrying His baggage too
Lay down your cares
Mr. Brokenhearted
Lay 'em down, lay 'em down
Mr., Mr., Mr. Brokenhearted
