I learned the meaning of surrendering by never surrendering

Just like a tail leading a dog in circles

I’ve been trying to pin down the heart of me

Learning that if trying means failing

Failing’s going to bring the best out of me

Until the day I fail successfully



So, I’m just going to keep on living and loving

The only things I know completely

And, that means a bit more wishful thinking

That today will be the day I find the better part of me



I found a stencil I learned to trace by always tracing

Just like a child following his own shadow

I’ve been trying to become something I’ll never be

Ignoring the reality of always imagining

Imagining that someday who I’m not will be within my reach

When I learn to let go of the ghosts inside of me



So, for now, I’ll just keep on living and loving

The only things I know completely

And, that may mean a bit more wishful thinking

But, someday I will recognize worth in my own abilities



If there’s a chance for safety

If there’s a past that’s really chasing me

Then, I believe, I’ll lose its baggage by surrendering



And, if there’s purpose in my abilities

And, if there’s a future waiting just for me

Then, I believe, I’ll find my way by surrendering
