Waking to the silence of this quality

The one the angels decided to hand down

For the purity of the deeds that are forgiven

I surrender and I lay me down

For Michael and for Gabriel who hold me

And the wings that make, make the silence of that sound

And for the tender touch that comes when I stop to listen

For the tender touch that comes when I stop to listen

I surrender, I lay me down

I surrender, I lay me down

I surrender, I lay me down

I surrender and I lay me down

The letting go of all I hold so tightly

Releasing clouds and silver linings of my mind

Finding ways to see all my horizons

For mothers and fathers who may guide us

The courage to breathe the words of fire and love

And looking out, looking out with friends you abandoned

And for the tender touch that comes when I stop to listen

For the tender touch that comes when I stop to listen

Breathing with the silence of this quality

The grace the angels decided to hand down

For the purity of the deeds that are forgiven

I surrender and I lay me down

I surrender, I lay me down

I surrender, I lay me down

I surrender, I lay me down

I surrender and I lay me down
