Long were the days I've spent within these walls
And long were nights of aloneness.
How often have you sailed in my dreams
And now in my awakening?
Here I am - ready to go
Into the seasonless world where we shall reap and love
In the stillness of the night I have walked in your streets
And my spirit has entered your heart.
And in your sleep your dreams were MY dreams
And your breath was upon my face.
Ohhh to know the pain of too much tenderness.
You are not trapped or tamed.
Without a care and without grief. You shall be free.
Give up the fight and learn to surrender
All you've gotta do is
Give up the fight and learn to surrender
You know there's nothing to it
Let this be the start of something - the start of something true
Don't want to keep this heart imprisoned
Let me fly away with you
You don't always need a reason for all the things you do
When you've got something to believe in you know there's no turning back
Give up the fight and learn to surrender
All you've gotta do is
Give up the fight and learn to surrender
You know there's nothing to it
Theres nothing to it.
Let there be no scales
To weigh your unknown treasure
It is when you give of yourself
That you truly give.
Oh to know the pain of too much tenderness
You would touch with your fingers the naked body of your dreams
Give up the fight and learn to surrender
All you've gotta do is
Give up the fight and learn to surrender
All you've gotta do is
