Chorus
Surrender All
let it all go
give it up, give it over
watch it fall

Release your grip
reluctant mystic
be filled with wonder
take your first step, start your fall

Verse
Your house of cards
is due to come down
it’s on its last straw
it’s on its final round

So you stay, but at what cost?
If things are great, why do you feel lost?

Maybe you fool everybody
but you don’t fool me
usually trapped animals
would prefer to be free

Come back to center, abide in your skin
despite the bad press, leaving is not a sin

Chorus
Surrender All…

Verse 2
Life in a poster’s flat
on a pedestal is cold
watch out for when people sign you
up to be their hero

I don’t know how your story ends
but here is where it’s trying to begin

You can’t stay here there are places
that you need to go
pay attention to the signs
that point you towards your road

The knot in your gut comes to you as a friend
it’s hoping that you will decide to tune in

Bridge
And hear the call
hear the call
hear the call
hear the call

Chorus
Surrender All...

Tag
Be filled with wonder
take your first step, start your fall
