The dawn breaks, the moon quakes,
The sun wakes up the morning star
As night surrenders to the day in a silent bow
The dew shakes into still lakes, forgives all past mistakes
Last night was a distant then; this morning is our only now

(Chorus)
'Cause Love is a sweet surrender, love is a deep surrender
Love is time's secret mender, love is our choice alone
And in the act of choosing, we pass beyond win or losing
Into this moment where love welcomes us home
The sun climbs into the noon sky
A bell chimes, echoes its own reply
While people take their noon repast in a courtyard in the shade
It's busy, yet lazy, part dizzy, half crazy
As morning surrenders to the afternoon that she surely made

(Chorus)
The field mouse surrenders to the falcon
The pollen surrenders to the bee
The raindrop surrenders to the stream,
Which surrenders to the river, which surrenders to the sea

The warm light of this late day
Shadows grow tall then fade to gray
A breeze blows; the sun grows sleepy in its slow decay
A bird sings a vespers tune
This day will take its leave so soon
Her song is like an offering
As day surrenders into evening

The sun sets, the night falls, the sun has no regrets,
None that the night recalls
A star shines, the moon glows
The earth takes off her daytime clothes
Someday the sun will set upon its last day
It's had a great life, and now it's time to fade away
And in its last act of making light of everything
I think I know just what the sun might sing

(Well She sings) Love is a sweet surrender, love is a deep surrender
Love is time's secret mender, love is our choice alone
And in the act of choosing, we go beyond win or losing
Past any why or how, into the ever present now
Past any there or here, beyond any doubt or fear
Into a timeless space, a spaceless time of endless grace
It was our choice to wander; it was our choice to roam
And by our choice we now return
Where love welcomes us home
This song is from the album "Miracles and Other Works of Heart".
