Standing in the shadows, you wait for the day to end
You hide from the sunlight,
'Cause the darkness is your friend

You can't be strong, can't fight the memories
When all your hope is gone

It's hard to remember, you had it all in your hands
And life was so easy, but now you don't understand
What went wrong, and where to turn to
When all your faith is gone

All your life you've been searchin' for love
You ran away when it came to push and shove
You close your eyes and you fall to your knees
And pray to God above, please, I surrender
I surrender, I surrender

No more fighting, sweet surrender
Lay your head beside the river
All is calm and peace is waiting
Love will be with you forever
Weary traveler, pushing onward
In your heart you're feeling stronger
No more hunger, no more longing, oh

But now you don't understand
What went wrong, and where to turn to
When all your faith is gone

All your life you've been searchin' for love
You ran away when it came to push and shove
You close your eyes and you fall to your knees
And pray to God above, please, I surrender
I surrender, I surrender

You close your eyes and you fall to your knees
And pray to God above, please, I surrender
I surrender, I surrender
