Surrender Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There is a crowd in here, that fooled themselves
They brought their friends, and they made their hell
They fake their grin, in a lonely cell
To the bitter end
But what do I know?
There are a few in here, that hurt themselves;
They kick, and bend in a dried-up well
They call for help, and you know them well
Are you aware?
But what do I know?


[Pre-Chorus]
I, I will not surrender
No I, I will not surrender
No I, I will not surrender
No I, I will not surrender

[Chorus]
When God falls fast asleep
The kids still dance in city streets
From the white house lawn to the middle east

And all around I'm just saying that this time I feel it now
When God falls fast asleep
The kids still move to a steady beat
Even if it's bombs landing at their feet
Or all around I'm just saying that this time I feel it now
[Verse 2]
There is a place to hide
It's in our minds
It's in the dark
It's well known that we have a fragile heart
It's deep inside
It has a sound that you can follow
You feel like you hit a wall
But you survive
And it was hard for you to swallow
I've been to that place before
In spite of luck
When you awake, a new tomorrow


[Pre-Chorus]
I, I will not surrender
No I, I will not surrender
No I, I will not surrender
No I, I will not surrender

[Chorus]
When God falls fast asleep
The kids still dance in city streets
From the White House lawn to the middle east

And all around I'm just saying that this time I feel it now
When God falls fast asleep
The kids still move to a steady beat
Even if its bombs landing at their feet
Or all around I'm just saying that this time I feel it now
When God falls fast asleep
The kids still dance in city streets
From the White House lawn to the middle east

And all around I'm just saying that this time I feel it now
When God falls fast asleep
The kids still move to a steady beat
Even if its bombs landing at their feet
Or all around I'm just saying that this time I feel it now
When God falls fast asleep
The kids still dance in city streets
From the White House lawn to the middle east

And all around I'm just saying that this time I feel it now
When God falls fast asleep
The kids still move to a steady beat
Even if its bombs landing at their feet
Or all around I'm just saying that this time I feel it now


[Outro]
I feel it now
This time I feel it now
I feel it now
This time I feel it now
Oh oh oh oh oh
Yea ah oh oh oh oh oh
Yea ah oh oh oh oh oh
Yea ah oh oh oh oh oh (This time I feel it now)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
