Shouldn't it be "lie" instead?

For those who have questioned my recent change of banner and a few other signs I wish to confirm that yes, Since Sunday 24th March, I no longer have any direct association with Peoples Voice.

It has been an interesting 2-year experience as I contributed to Lim Tean and team where I could as he developed his party. The road has had its ups and downs as I had my own health battles to deal with but now, I am fully on the road to recovery, it has become clear that the next stage of my serving Singapore will likely lay on another path.

Shouldn't it be "lie" instead?

Thanks.

Hint: Lie on the sofa; lay the book down.

Not a good choice of word to use. I would have said “ will take another path.”

(PS There are several grammatical errors in these paragraphs)

A thing lies. The thing is the subject and there is no object.

You lay a thing. The subject does the laying and the thing is the object.
