Hands In The Air

If I raise my hands just lift the shade

Will I reveal a sky heavy and gray?

Will last night be a memory sweetly fading?

How I hate a morning starting out this way

On these lonely raging mornings I would whip you if I could

But Your on the mighty side of strong and the perfect side of good

If I raise my hands will you grab me by the wrists

And will you try to pull me from the fray?

And even if my fingers join together into fists

Will you hold me firmly anyway?

'Cause I would try to escape you but for everyday I'm sure

That You're on the huge side of big and the hly side of pure

Ok, hear what I say

As I raise my hands and surrender today

Ok, here I will stay

Hands in the air, singing have Thine own way

If I raise my hands so weak and thin and frail

Will you reveal the light of mercy in your eyes?

If I cry to you faintly will my feeble whispers fail

Or will it find its way to a reply?

'Cause now that I'm exhausted I think I'm ready to admit

That I've spent all my resistance on someone I can't resist

Ok, hear what I say

As I raise my hands, in surrender today

Ok, here I will stay

Hands in the air singing have Thine own way

Light from my window sill make my way to the door

I hang my head and still I know your wanting more

Over the threshold now I move across the yard

Although my will allows my every step is hard

Now in the garden I carve out six feet of space

There make my will comply lie down upon my face

Been toe to toe to long I'm tired of fighting You

I see You were to strong, 'cause I am black and blue

But now I understand that losers do to win

How every dying man is sure to rise again

So I rasie my left hand one I raise my right hand
