LYRICS

I opened up the pathway of the heart The flowers died embittered from the start That night I crossed the bridge of sighs and I surrendered I looked back and glimpsed the outline of a boy His life of sorrows now collapsing into joy And tonight the stars are all aligned and I surrender My mother cries beneath a southern sky and I surrender Recording angels and the poets of the night Bring back the trophies of the battles that we fight Searchlights fill the open skies and I surrender Outrageous cries of love have called me back Derailed the trains of thought, demolished wayward tracks You tell me I've no need to wonder why I just surrender I stand too close to see the sleight of hand How she found this child inside the frightened man Tonight I'm learning how to fly and I surrender I've travelled all this way for your embrace Enraptured by the recognition on your face Hold me now while my old life dies tonight and I surrender My mother cries beneath the open skies and I surrender An ancient evening just before the fall The light in your eyes, the meaning of it all Birds fly and fill the summer skies and I surrender She throws the burning books into the sea "Come find the meaning of the word inside of me" It's alright the stars are all aligned and I surrender My mother cries beneath the moonlit skies and I surrender My body turns to ashes in her hands The disappearing world of footprints in the sand Tell me now that this love will never die and I'll surrender My mother cries beneath the open skies and I surrender
