My hands hold safely to my dreams
clutching tightly not one has fallen.
so many years i’ve shaped each one
reflecting my heart, showing who i am.
now you’re asking me to show
what i’m holding oh so tightly.
can’t open my hand; can’t let go
does it matter?
should i show you?
can’t you let me go?
Chorus
surrender, surrender
you whisper gently
you say i will be free
i know but can’t you see
my dreams are me, my dreams are me
Say you have a plan for me
and that you want the best for my life.
told me the world has yet to see
what you can do with one
that’s committed to your call.
i know of course what i should do
that i can’t hold these dreams forever.
but if i give them now to you
will you take them
away forever? or can i dream again?
