Sweet Surrender
Embracing Liberation: Sweet Surrender by Blackbird & Crow
Lyrics
Well it has been too many years
Expressing the passage of a significant amount of time.
Of standin’ strong whilst living in fear
Enduring challenges while living in a state of fear.
Pushin’ away all that is dear
Rejecting what is precious or important.
And runnin’ when love gets near
Avoiding or fleeing when confronted with love.
When love gets near
Emphasizing the impact of love's proximity.
Well I’m older now and deep down I know
Acknowledging aging and an understanding of personal truth.
That I will forever be a tortured soul
Feeling destined to endure internal struggles indefinitely.
A woman of fire
Describing oneself as a passionate and intense individual.
But I am out of control
Admitting a lack of control over one's passionate nature.
For too long I have relied on the fight that is in me
Relying on internal strength for a prolonged period.
But with each year I get tired and weary
Experiencing fatigue and weariness with each passing year.
I need surrender
Expressing a need for surrender, possibly to love or life's challenges.
Sweet surrender
Reiterating the desire for a gentle and pleasant surrender.
I can’t stay like this forever
Acknowledging the impossibility of maintaining the current state forever.
I need surrender
Reaffirming the necessity for surrender in the face of challenges.
I need surrender
Repeating the call for surrender, emphasizing the need for it.
Sweet surrender
Echoing the idea of a sweet and gentle surrender.
I can’t stay like this forever
Highlighting the temporary nature of the current state.
I need surrender
Restating the essential need for surrender in the ongoing journey.
