Sweet Surrender

Lost and alone on some forgotten highway,
Travelled by many remembered by few;
Looking for something that I can believe in,
Looking for something that I’d like to do with my life.

There’s nothing behind me and nothing that ties me
To something that might have been true yesterday.
Tomorrow is open and right now it seems to be more
Than enough to just be there today

And I don’t know what the future is holding in store;
I don’t know where I’m going, I’m not sure where I’ve been.
There’s a spirit that guides me, a light that shines for me;
My life is worth the living, I don’t need to see the end

Sweet, sweet surrender;
Live, live without care;
Like a fish in the water;
Like a bird in the air.


John Denver
