Lay Down Your Arms | M. Wanda Black

She spent her life behind armor, trusting no one and keeping the world at a distance. Every scar carried a memory, every step was a battle, and her heart remained locked away. Until someone came along who never asked her to be stronger, never demanded answers, and never tried to break through her walls. He simply stayed beside her and whispered, “I'm right here.” Sometimes, the bravest thing you can do is stop fighting. To put down your armor, let go of your fear, and finally believe that you don't have to face the world alone. A song about pain, trust, healing, and the courage to let someone in.

She'd long grown used to being all alone, And keeping everyone beyond her walls. Scars on her skin, years in her memory, Anxiety followed every step she took. Back then, she thought that weakness meant Any feeling other than a sense of duty. She kept her heart behind a lock, So the past could never hurt her once again. But one day, he simply stayed beside her, Asking for no vows, no role to play. Lay down your arms, there's no more war, Leave your armor by the old stone wall. You don't have to be strong until the end, When loving arms and hearts can keep you warm. Lay down your arms, forget the lines, Don't run from love and hide behind your lies. Let this world become quiet for the first time, You don't have to be alone anymore. She learned to listen for each step, To search for shadows right behind her back. She never knew that it could be this way, That beside someone, a day could simply be peaceful. Her hand would rest beside her hip, As if the past would come back once again. But slowly, she began to understand: Not everyone who comes close will bring you pain. He never tried to take her armor off, Never asked about her old wounds. He simply said in a quiet voice, "I'm here," And that was enough for her stubborn heart. Lay down your arms, there's no more war, Leave your armor by the old stone wall. You don't have to be strong until the end, When loving arms and hearts can keep you warm. Lay down your arms, forget the lines, Don't run from love and hide behind your lies. Let this world become quiet for the first time, You don't have to be alone anymore. All these years, you've held your ground, Counting scars the way you counted days. But sometimes, rescue comes in silence, When someone quietly tells you, "Don't go." And for the first time, you don't want to run, You don't look for exits, you don't count the doors. You can simply lie down by someone's side And finally learn to trust someone. Lay down your arms, there's no more war, Let the fire fade before the dawn. You don't have to be strong until the end, When loving arms and hearts can keep you warm. Lay down your arms, leave your fear behind, You don't have to run from love again. Let the past remain behind that wall, You can simply be... And never be alone again. No need for armor. No need for war. Close your eyes. I'm here. You're not alone.
