surrender

Angela Aki

The one who gifts you, the one who lifts you
SheÂ?s the angel in your eyes
Tiny kisses and magic wishes
Makes the world a big surprise
Growing older, past the shoulder
When everything seems bright
Time just races-changing faces in the light

Then you see the world gets smaller
And youÂ?re taller than the sky
SheÂ?s no longer the stronger
And as you battle to survive
You try to bend her; canÂ?t defend her
ThereÂ?s no wrong; there is no right
No one surrenders-only contenders in this fight

I know the madness, felt the sadness
Resisted just this way
Stuffed the feelings kept concealing
All the things you want to say
But itÂ?s not treason; sheÂ?s not the reason
ItÂ?s the season of your life
The winds will soften and let the winter fade away

You have to mend it; you have to end it
Before the chance passes by
Break down the fences your defenses
Open your heart; you have to try
To trust your senses; no more pretenses
And youÂ?ll rise above
When you surrender to all the splendor of her love

The one who gifts you, the one who lifts you
SheÂ?s the angel in your eyes
The one who stayed there so unafraid there
All through innocenceÂ?s demise
Growing older, as you hold her
Once again it seems all right
Time just races-changing faces in the light

Go on mend it; Go on and end it
Before the chance passes by
Break down the fences and your defenses
Open your heart you have to try
To trust your senses; no more pretenses
I believe youÂ?ll rise above
When you surrender to all the splendor of her love
When you surrender to all the splendor of her love
