Surrounded

[Verse 1]

Morning comes too early

And nighttime falls too late

And sometimes all I want to do is wait

The shadow I've been hiding in has fled from me today

[Verse 2]

I know it's easier

To walk away than look it in the eye

But I will raise a shelter to the sky

And here beneath this star tonight I'll lie

She will slowly yield the light, as I awaken from the longest night

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]

Dreams are shaking, set sirens waking up tired eyes

With the light the memories all rush into his head

By a candle stands a mirror of his heart and soul she dances

She was dancing through the night above his bed

[Chorus]

And walking to the window

He throws the shutters out against the wall

And from an ivory tower hears her call

"Let light surround you"

[Verse 4]

It's been a long, long time, he's had a while to think it over

In the end he only sees the change, light to dark, dark to light, light to dark, dark to light

Heaven must be more than this, when angels waken with a kiss

Sacred hearts won't take the pain, but mine will never be the same

[Chorus]

He stands before the window

His shadow slowly fading from the wall

And from an ivory tower hears her call

"Let the light surround you"

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]

Once lost but I was found

When I heard the stained glass shatter all around me

I sent the spirits tumbling down the hill

But I will hold this one on high above me still

She whispers words to clear my mind, I once could see but now at last I'm blind

[Outro]

I know it's easier

To walk away than look it in the eye

But I had given all that I could take

And now I've only habits left to break

Tonight I'll still be lying here, surrounded in all the light
