I surrender my heart
My body, my soul
My faith and my spirit
My one and my all
I surrender my trust
My power untried
My love and my wisdom
My freedom, my pride
I surrender my life
Put it all in your hands
Deliver me forever
From the curse of the lands
A sky full of stars
Each one has a story
Is yours, my dear friend
Wrapped in shame or glory?
All my life I have feared
I may lose all that’s dear
But now all that seems so clear
…
As I lie on this rough bed
As I count my final breaths
Death has lost all of its dread
…
Oh mother, you know I love you
Tell Dad I love him too
Oh lord, it was a thrilling ride
Going out with love and pride
Tell me, what is that sound?
Shots fired all around
All is changed, all is same
The blue sky calls my name
…
Every dream I had in me
Everything I wished to be
Are now lost in memories
…
Breaking free from all my chains
All is changed, all is same
With the sky calling my name
A drop fell from a cloud
A fruit fell from a tree
A tear dropped from your eye
Then I wasn’t me
…
I tasted that tiny drop
Bit off that fallen fruit
Wiped that tear with happiness
Then I became me
I wish you not to be rich
With bags and buckets of wealth
I wish you happiness which
Instead comes with perfect health
All day long we chase the dollars
To sleep in a cosy bed
And in chasing those lofty dollars
We lose the sleep we always had
Mom, I feel so tiny
When I look at the endless sky
Will I ever grow up?
Watch intimately the birds fly?
Mom, I feel so tiny
Helpless and insignificant
Is there no magic potion
To speed up the adolescents?
Mom, I feel so tiny
A misfit on this giant Earth
Looking at the stars above
Contemplating my righteous worth
Mom, I feel so tiny
Respond to my questions and qualms
Do all the children have to
Follow the lines on their little palms?
“Do not worry,” Mommy said
Her eyes filled with a lot of pain
“Once you happen to grow up
You’d wish to be a child again”
