Surrender - Angela Aki

The one who gifts you, the one who lifts you

She’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 you’re taller than the sky

She’s no longer the stronger

And as you battle to survive

You try to bend her, can’t defend her

There’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 it’s not treason, she’s not the reason

It’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 you’ll rise above

When you surrender to all the splendor of her love

The one who gifts you, the one who lifts you

She’s the angel in your eyes

The one who stayed there so unafraid there

All through innocence’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 you’ll rise above

When you surrender to all the splendor of her love

When you surrender to all the splendor of her love
