Surrender

Love is redemption,
this I know,
so I will never
let you go.

Though battles wage on,
and I want to fight,
to leave you now
would not be right.

The knowledge I gained
through a pure heart as yours
led me to trouble
and closed some doors.

Still I move forward,
and just let them be -
finally without power
over me.

Our time is short,
our message clear;
I will no longer squander
What is now so dear.

The sacrifice is made,
the music's suffice
to permit me to leave
this wretched fight.

You aided me,
so I will stay true.
I finally promise
to not fall through.

This indignation
ruled me for so long,
now what time is left
I will be strong.

The songs we sing,
I will not fear
my creaky voice,
and all these tears.

You've seen it all
the release of pride
week after week
no one by my side.

But that doesn't matter
anymore:
And I await the knock
at my door.
