Lyrics
SURRENDER
Mark Patterson & Lee Parvin
© 2019
There will always be a part of you - it could be anyone
That wants a path that'll lead you to the light
But the hollow voice inside of you - the same for everyone
Is standing in the way of your divine right
Slowly it's replaced now - it's inescapable
By a song that drifts across the dunes
Not a moment left to waste now - I know you're capable
Of soaring on the notes of all the ancient tunes
Chorus:
Oh surrender to the sound so sweet it fills the empty cup
Try to remember giving in is not giving up
So you find the sacred path and then - you can't believe your eyes
You get a shot at getting off the wheel
It may not come around again - don't listen to the lies
The mind you prize is your Achilles' heel
And when you see what's left of you - meet your divinity
That's been inside you silent all along
See the spirit shining through - in your epiphany
You finally see the truth was hidden in the song
(Chorus)
You've been asleep in a dream so long you've got nothing to show
And the fairy tale seems so wrong but that's all that you know
You're holding on with a grip so strong if you'd just let go, oh oh oh oh
(Chorus, Repeat)
