lyrics

Memory's subjective, memory's a weapon
Without time shared together what are we left with?
Forget Sisyphus I'd rather be crushed by that boulder
Then fighting to make a fire that'll forever smolder
When you walk away those embers become flames
The lesson is you never catch everything that you chase
I said I wanted to die a few times and I meant it
I never broke that promise but I probably bent it
I wrote a goodbye note but i never stamped it and sent it
Life is priceless with my loved ones I will spend it
The gift of a sunrise, the blessing of a sunset
The colors are a choir, singing I am not done yet
What's a spectrum without a prism if there's no light given
Expectations can be a prison i heard the keynotes when i listened
At the end of the day the only thing i need to remember
Is to let go and learn the art of surrender

[Dad]
If I just relax and took a breath and let go
It would come to me
The release at the end of your prayer
Otherwise you're just holding onto it
You got to open your hand and let it go
For it to come back
Release it to God
Because if God gave you everything you asked for, you'd be so screwed

The mountains bowed the wind was singing a sermon
Worrying is praying for what you don't want I finally heard him
If you want to make god laugh then tell her your plans
I let reason lose the battle and signed a truce with chance
Detachment I wont fear it I am the joy of the spirit
I hear a harp playing in the willows the rain is the lyrics
I surrender, I'm the mandala falling towards the river
I'm impermanent sand back to the earth I'll be delivered
To the mind that is still, the whole universe surrenders
Tripping over joy I'm yelling i finally remember
Surrender and sing the song that's inside of you
Surrender to the water and you'll float where you're invited too
I surrender, I'm no longer a puppet for my ego
I don't know what happens when I die but I hope I go where he go
I thought I knew strength but I had it all wrong
It's not about holding on, It's letting go that makes you strong

[Dad]
I flail at the darkness
And can't find my way
I try my hardest to get through the day
Feeling abandoned with no one around
Tired and spent, I stare at the ground
I surrender to guidance
Coming from above
I look up in wonder
And see the light of God's love
