Surrender

I wrote a cool song called "Surrender". I had Bonnie Raitt in mind, Robert Cray could Kill it too. The song is mid-tempo, and all about the Path to True Love.

"Every corner you turn is a dead-end,
The writings on the wall,
If you don't find yourself a true friend,
Then brother your gonna' fall "

Surrender, Surrender,
You know that you want to Surrender to My Love



Surrender the Pink
Surrender Your Weapon
Surrender to God
Surrender to Him
Surrender to Her
Surrender to Love

Did I refuse to Surrender? To Really Give It Up ? Was there a little something in reserve? For Me? Only for ME ? Did I kid myself and think any of this was MINE? I betcha' I did.

Givin' It Up for Your Love, Everything...
Giving It Up For Your Love Right Now,
Givin'It up for Your Love Everyday ...
Givin' It up for Your Love Somehow...

SURRENDER

All our lovin' is borrowed from Heaven,
We take it out on Time,
If you've lost interest lending,
I'll give you some of mine,
but, you must surrender, surrender,surrender
To my love.

So, it's really not unconditional...but it is , afterall, a small price to pay.

This song was an "Internet Hit"...and appears on my Konkord CD "Bettin' On You"...It was played in heavy rotation in Clarksdale,Mississippi...sold ten units...LOL but, I promise you, it's cool...Take a listen at http://www.artistlaunch.com/artist7.asp?artistid=5596
