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
