| Waking to the silence of this quality
|
| The one the angels decided to hand down
|
| For the beauty of the deeds that are forgiven
|
| I surrender and I lay me down
|
| For Michael and Gabriel who hold me
|
| And the wings that make the silence of that sound
|
| PRE-CHORUS: And for the tender touch that comes when I stop to listen
|
| CHORUS: I surrender, I lay me down
|
| For the letting go of all I hold so tightly
|
| Releasing clouds and silver linings of my mind
|
| Finding ways to see all of my horizons
|
| For mothers and fathers who may guide
|
| For the courage to breathe the words of fire and love
|
| And looking out with freedom to abandon
|
| PRE-CHORUS: And for the tender touch that comes when I stop to listen
|
| CHORUS: I surrender, I lay me down
|
| Breathing with the silence of this quality
|
| The grace the angels decided to hand down
|
| For the beauty of the deeds that are forgiven
|
| I surrender and I lay me down
|
| CHORUS: I surrender, I lay me down
|
| I surrender, I lay me down |
