Total Surrender Lyrics

Ooh, yeah
Have to feel it
Ooh, yeah, yeah

This empty room
Full of warm memories and tender feelings
Has come to be
A cold battleground, a disenchanted love affair
(No happy ending)
In my mind's eye
I can picture the way things used to be
When there was no strain
When the rhythm of life
Went dancing on without a care
Nothing compares
The facts have been laid bare
That the secret of love is total surrender
The path that leads to true fidelity
Requires nothing less than total surrender

And I want it so badly
I will give myself gladly
There can be no retreat
'Cause sometimes victory is bittersweet
Yeah, yeah

Two empty souls
Could it be that our faith is secondary?
The push and pull
To escape what we feel is ordinary in our lives
(So ordinary)
Oh, deep down within
There's the soul of a poet lurking under Below the skin
Where the best-laid plans
Have gone asunder once again

Oh, I've come to see, there is no mystery
That the secret of love is total surrender
There cannot be love's sweet victory
Without us both giving way to total surrender
When we both give together
It feels light as a feather
So let's give it one more try
And by and by

Before I'm dead, I'll get it through my head
That the name of the game is total surrender
We won't receive love's security
Unless we drink from the cup of total surrender

Wise men do tell while drawing from their well
That the secret of love is total surrender
There will not be a real serenity
Unless we give of ourselves to total surrender

Oh, oh...
(The secret of love is total surrender)
Oh...
(The secret of love is total surrender)
