Surrender

Here I stand, No crown, no land And yet prepared to tender My unconditional surrender To pledge my plight, to reunite A mother and her son. This woman you chained, This woman I love Know just how brave she can be And don’t shed a tear, not for me Her own need is to embrace A son who’s never seen her face. And so it is my turn has come, As ever her defender With joy as heart I surrender. Chain me now and set her free To heed her young sons’ ball Let me trade my life for hers And I’ll surrender all.
