Surrender

Sometimes when I'm down
I close my eyes and listen to the the sound
of the music in my mind
and it shows me how to be kind

and lately I've been pondering
on the way I start to run, and end meandering
when I think that I'm not good enough
when I feel I've simply had enough

I remember
to surrender
remember
to surrender

oh deep iside, I feel a calling
but when I try to leap I end up falling
from the wisdom of my soul
but then it catches me
and lets me down real slow

as time goes on, I see the fallacy
for I cannot live my truth till I believe in ME
when I close my eyes and sing my song
I know inside, where I belong

I remember
to surrender
remember
to surrender
