From the recording Broken Daisies
Surrender To The Light is a blues-infused rock song about letting go, finding perspective, and moving forward when life doesn't go according to plan. Set against the noise and distractions of everyday life, the song explores the search for truth, hope, and peace, ultimately inviting listeners to move toward the light rather than away from it.
Lyrics
Every day sitting at my desk
Pushing the paper it’s what I do best
Interviews and resumes
Early news in these latter days
Cheek to cheek while we tow the line
Angry men with their bitter minds might say
Tooth for tooth and an eye for an eye
But they can’t make me forget to remember
Before I close my eyes today
Before I bend my knees and pray
I must surrender to the light
Surrender with all my might
Though we live we must learn to die
Open hearts see a sunlit sky
A leap of faith into the great unknown
Growing up into a mind of our own
Black and white with grey in between
What’s really real here remains to be seen
A little truth, mixed with a great big lie
But they can’t make me forget to remember
Before I close my eyes today
Before I bend my knees and pray
I will surrender to the light
Surrender with all my might
Surrender, surrender, surrender yourself to the light
Surrender, surrender, surrender yourself to the light
Before I close my eyes today
Before I bend my knees and pray
Before I close my eyes today
Before I bend my knees and pray
I will surrender, surrender, surrender yourself to the light
I will surrender, surrender, surrender yourself to the light
