Surrender

my hands hold safely to my dreams
clutching tightly, not one has fallen
so many years have shaped each one
reflecting my heart, showing who i am
now you're asking me to show
what i'm holding oh so tightly
can't open my hands, can't let go
does it matter?
should i show you?
can't you let me go?

surrender, surrender
you whisper gently
you say i will be free
i know, but can't you see?
my dreams are me
my dreams are me

you say you have a plan for me
and that you want the best for my life
told me the world has yet to see
what you can do with one that's committed to your call
i know of course what i should do
that i can't hold these dreams forever
if i give them now to you
will you take them away forever?
or can i dream again?

surrender, surrender
you whisper gently
you say i will be free
i know, but can't you see?
my dreams are me
my dreams are me
surrender.
