I Surrender

Описание: Original song by Lenni Green, Pittsburgh, PA

I’m on a boat in the middle of the ocean
Trying to find my way with careful navigation
I’m the captain and I’m looking for hidden treasure

But there’s a violent storm, a torrential downpour
And a treacherous battle, I’m going to war
I’m a soldier and I put up my defenses

But I don’t wanna fight trying to be loved
Don’t wanna die trying to rescue my soul
I wanna lay down and let go of control
And feel safe in my own home

You better not close your heart if I open
Spent enough of my life feeling broken
I’ll put down my sword and shield if you do the same

If I let you swim in my deep water
Will you always know that it’s an honor
I’ll put down my guard and raise that white flag high
I surrender

Don’t have a map and I’m stranded in the fog
I’m terrified and hungry but I still need to be strong
I feel so lost and my heart’s my only guide

I’ve only heard rumors of a promised land
I’m running on faith until I touch that sand
I wanna sleep peacefully in the sweet serenity of the divine mother’s hand

But I don’t wanna fight trying to be loved
Don’t wanna die trying to rescue my soul
I wanna lay down and let go of control
And feel safe in my own home

You better not close your heart if I open
Spent enough of my life feeling broken
I’ll put down my sword and shield if you do the same

Will you grant forgiveness if I falter
While we lay our shadows at the altar
I’ll put down my guard and raise that white flag high
I surrender
