OK, the following lyrics are from a very sad but soul soothing song from my favorite band. Its not released it was made independently for the fan club only. It is about the loss of a child... whether you lost your baby before or after it was born, its still a loss... and I thought maybe these lyrics would help someone out there, I know a lot of you have been through a loss... I hope in some small way this song helps you.
I think its just a beautiful song and it tears at my heart when I hear it...
I'll never walk away from this, or pull you closely to my chest.
With a father's breaking heart, I 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'd carry you child to a place where you can rest.
Sweet tears seeping into my being as I put you down to bed.
It tears me to pieces watching you fight to fill your lungs with breath.
There's no need to struggle, no need to struggle...
-I lay you down, lay you down... don't you cry no more.
I'd 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 is no friendship, no joy.
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 splinter wooden chest.
Together and alone we line the streets,
I only hope that you're finding rest.
-I'm not ready for this...
-I lay you down, lay you down... don't you cry no more
I lay me down, lay me down.
-I'd gladly lay me down, lay me down...
I think its just a beautiful song and it tears at my heart when I hear it...
I'll never walk away from this, or pull you closely to my chest.
With a father's breaking heart, I 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'd carry you child to a place where you can rest.
Sweet tears seeping into my being as I put you down to bed.
It tears me to pieces watching you fight to fill your lungs with breath.
There's no need to struggle, no need to struggle...
-I lay you down, lay you down... don't you cry no more.
I'd 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 is no friendship, no joy.
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 splinter wooden chest.
Together and alone we line the streets,
I only hope that you're finding rest.
-I'm not ready for this...
-I lay you down, lay you down... don't you cry no more
I lay me down, lay me down.
-I'd gladly lay me down, lay me down...

that is my myspace page and the very first song that plays automatically is that song I posted the lyrics too. I dont know any other way for you guys to hear it because its a fan club only release, and I've only heard it online... I tried to look it up on itunes but you can't get it that way either... This band is Independent now, and so they can record and release songs anytime they like, and this is one of their songs on their new fanclub c.d. I heard this song and it broke my heart and made me think that you guys might like to hear it...
The song is called Lay you down, and its by Hanson
