Total Surrender

Ooh, yeah Have to feel it Ooh, yeah, yeah This empty room Full of warm memories and tender feelings Has come to be A cold battleground, a disenchanted love affair (No happy ending) In my mind's eye I can picture the way things used to be When there was no strain When the rhythm of life Went dancing on without a care Nothing compares The facts have been laid bare That the secret of love is total surrender The path that leads to true fidelity Requires nothing less than total surrender And I want it so badly I will give myself gladly There can be no retreat 'Cause sometimes victory is bittersweet Yeah, yeah Two empty souls Could it be that our faith is secondary? The push and pull To escape what we feel is ordinary in our lives (So ordinary) Oh, deep down within There's the soul of a poet lurking under Below the skin Where the best-laid plans Have gone asunder once again Oh, I've come to see, there is no mystery That the secret of love is total surrender There cannot be love's sweet victory Without us both giving way to total surrender When we both give together It feels light as a feather So let's give it one more try And by and by Before I'm dead, I'll get it through my head That the name of the game is total surrender We won't receive love's security Unless we drink from the cup of total surrender Wise men do tell while drawing from their well That the secret of love is total surrender There will not be a real serenity Unless we give of ourselves to total surrender Oh, oh... (The secret of love is total surrender) Oh... (The secret of love is total surrender)
