Surrender

Its natural to each man
When memories arise
Of all of the heartache
The good times and demise.

Lines are crossed everywhere
For those who say the vows
Do you listen to what's right
Or let the heart arouse.

Sweet Sweet Surrender
Let me please be free
Sweet Sweet Surrender
Get me back to me

It's not giving away
My soul to reach the sky
It's just surrendering
My own piece of the pie.

Delusions fill my world
After time has passed
Where did I go wrong
Guess I should have asked.

We lose our course
We stray from paths
We find ourself
In tearful baths.
