When Will We Surrender

When will we, when will we surrender? When will we strive for what is good and not for what man has created? When will we no longer trample the poor, ignore the stomachs of the starving? Renew the hearts of the hopeless and the strength of the helpless Those who can't stand on their own two feet. x2 We gotta change We gotta change what means the most to us When will we look to the hurting before we bandage our own wounds? We say we are martyrs, but we'd only die for ourselves, we'd only die for ourselves We gotta mend the wounds of the desperate We got the power to change circumstance We got the power, we got the power to change Let us rise above the storm, rise above the storm Set sail into the sea, set sail into the sea, into the sea When we pass through waters, we will not sink When we walk through fire, we will not be set ablaze We will not sink, we will not be set ablaze Instead we sink into your grace, a furnace of your mercy Because you choose the despised and lowly You choose the despised and lowly I am despised. I am lowly We will be the catalysts to reach out to the hurting We will embrace those who've been abandoned We will be catalysts We will embrace those who've been abandoned

Why am I wasting my time pleasing people around me? I'm sick of waiting around for nothing, for nothing Why am I wasting my time? I will not build my legacy on earth My legacy will not be of this world I will not build my legacy on earth My legacy will be too large for this soil My whole life I've been compared to those around me Expectations on my shoulder and people to please I will no longer sway with the willows I will stand strong on my own When everyone lets me down I will stand strong alone X3 Stand strong alone. x2 I will stand strong alone. x3 And when the winds hurl, I will not move I'm destined for greatness I'll see it through I'll see this through We will see this through

He walks the stairs and stands at the door Bottle in his right Fist in his left clenched tight He's already trampled over his wife The beginning of his family's demise As he stares into his little girl's eyes His little girl's green eyes And to her surprise he actually came home tonight But he's still not acting right He knows better, but he's never experienced it It's a night much like when he was young Mama's on the floor again Yelling "I love you"s at the man standing above her Who can only respond with violence He notices the similarities, and begins to scream off the balcony: "I will never be like you, I will always despise you Betrayer, where is your head? Betrayer, where is your heart? Betrayer, I will never be like you Betrayer, I will always despise you." X2 He's still outside screaming into the wind About his distaste for his former kin His evil thoughts are pushing him to the edge And now he's flirting with that ledge Those green eyes look at him from behind She's begging him to change his mind He shows his back to those that he loves When he dives headfirst into the earth He buries his head, hiding it from the world Then screams his little girl "I will always despise you Betrayer, where is your head? Betrayer, where is your heart? Betrayer, I will never be like you Betrayer, I will always despise you I will always despise you." x2

Looking now with new sight, new sight to see it all A void with the cruelest intentions Why aren't we taking what is ours? Hours of time and devotion Time is of the essence Let us hold it close. x6 It's time to go back to places where we found ourselves Alive and full, knowing it was in us all along It was in me It was in us all along X2 It was in me I can't scream enough to hold your attention Betrayed How many more will fall to the false image you portray Open your heart. x2 Cause at the end of the day Your ardent love keeps me safe At the end of the day Your ardent love keeps us safe from falling away Away

My life leaks away Groan by groan My years are fading in sighs I am growing weary. x2 They want to blot me from their memory Forget me like a corpse in a grave Throw me out with the scraps Behind doors they plot to ruin me And I'll be honest with you It's caving in on me I've been breaking through walls to get free Neck deep in this sinking sand I will no longer run But my trust will remain, it's everlasting Your hands hold my days X2 Embarrass the wicked Stand them up Leave them shaking their heads As they drift down to hell, drift down to hell Down to hell Drift to hell Gag the loudmouthed liars Who heckle me, your follower Slam the door on those oily, mocking faces Silence the venom of gossip I cannot go it alone The world is caving in on me X3 The world is caving in on me

What have I gained By giving the world my everything? It's never been such a struggle To regress to what I was yesterday But today, I seem so far away I'm waiting on the world to sing The song I've been singing I'm waiting on the world to sink The way I've been sinking The way I've been sinking I've given too much away Over these past few years And this is ending today There's pain in my eyes like I've never known I have fallen short Do you still see me as beautiful? Do you still see me as beautiful? Carry me home Lighten my stagger My conscience is weak I'm begging for reparation I am deficient of hope, deficient of hope Hope Refine me with fire Refine me with fire, oh God Refine me with fire There's pain in my eyes like I've never known I've fallen short Do you still see me as beautiful? There's pain in my eyes (Pain in my eyes) Like I've never known (Like I've ever known) I've fallen short Do you still see me as beautiful? (As beautiful?) I'll never find my place on Earth I'll never find, I'll never find my place My place on Earth I'll never find my place on Earth But I refuse to fade away To fade away

It's so hard to make an effort To keep my surroundings in line When sometimes, I can't do it for myself I confess: I'm not the man I proclaim My feet, my feet are sinking Into the mire beneath me, the mire, the mire beneath me I can't help but notice the endless battle for air While being swept by the tides of complacency My knowledge is accountability And I have to do something, I have to do something Blinded by the plank in my eye I cannot guide anyone I have to do something. x2 This lonely vessel is surely sinking I'm surely sinking. x3 Take me If it means they die to themselves Only to raise up their new lives Stop me in my tracks if it will shake them Stop, stop me Stop me We are nothing without each other

Every breath I take recalls the wretch I once was The wretch I remain Fueled by hatred, by greed The inability to love a world that lets me down My misanthropy eats me alive. x3 My face in the dirt My head staring down. x2 Staring down A miserable existence A life fueled by hate Now my face to the world, steadfast My life once miserable is now immeasurable. x2 What can I do with a heart full of hate Besides dig places to rest for those I love Besides make beds in the depths for those given up Besides dig places to rest for those I love My tattered soul needs mending And I'm done searching No greater Love than this No greater Love No other Love

The night, the night is darkest just before dawn, just before dawn So we search for brighter days Trudging through fields of deceit This will be the day of amelioration If we're granted a clear sky X2 Where we can look up and admire all that you are Without a storm in the way, without a storm in the way There's been so many storms as of late I know nothing but rain, x2 Nothing but rain. x2 Dry up our eyes Nothing but rain Dry up our lives Nothing but rain Dry up the rain The storm's inside me The storm is inside me. x2 With so many storms around me It's no surprise that when I see the sun, see the sun I begin to squint my eyes I can't handle it all at once, so I let it in slowly, and bask in my saving grace, my saving grace (I need Your sun to dry up the rain.)

The sun rises and the sun sets And hurries back to where it rises Wind to the south, and wind to the north Ever returning, returning on its course All streams flow into the sea Yet the sea is never full The streams return again without an ounce of toil What has been, will be again, nothing new under the sun There is nothing new under the sun Lest the adversary misunderstand our hand Lest the adversary misunderstand, misundertand and say our hand has triumphed What has been will be again Nothing new under the sun What has been, will be again to exalt flesh What has been will be again Nothing new under the sun What has been will be done again to exalt flesh Lest the adversary misunderstand our hand Lest the adversary misunderstand, misunderstand and say our hand has triumphed Remove our worthless idols Wreck our pride Remove our worthless idols Wreck my pride X2 Kindle a fire that burns to the realm of death below Devour the earth and its harvests

We are tattered men Nothing but mirrors of the walls we've built I've built a high gate and I've invited destruction Bruised and broken by my self-righteousness I can't go without letting my self down. x2 We, we cannot win alone We're coming up dry, our necks flush We've been staring at our crowns We've abandoned something up above, something up above I am nothing without the men who walked before me I'm broken by my own pride, my self-hate Bring a plague to my pride Let me know: I am nothing Oh, there are no arms as big as Yours. x2 Let us unite in the fact we are nothing Let us float into the dusk, united, united We are, we're gonna let it shine Let us shine We're gonna let it shine Let us shine Let me shine Let us shine We will shine
