Surrounded (05:28)
    - Kevin Moore

 Morning comes too early and nighttime falls too late
 And sometimes all I want to do is wait
 The shadow I've been hiding in has fled from me today

 I know it's easier to walk away than look it in the eye
 But I will raise a shelter to the sky
   and here beneath this
   star tonight I'll lie
 She will slowly yield the light
 As I awaken from the longest night

 Dreams are shaking
 Set sirens waking up tired eyes
 With the light the memories all rush into his head

 By a candle stands a mirror
 Of his heart and soul she dances
 She was dancing through the night above his bed

 And walking to the window
   he throws the shutters out
   against the wall
 And from an ivory tower hears her call
 'Let light surround you'

 It's been a long, long time
 He's had a while to think it over
 In the end he only sees the change
 Light to dark
 Dark to light
 Light to dark
 Dark to light

 Heaven must be more than this
 When angels waken with a kiss
 Sacred hearts won't take the pain
 But mine will never be the same

 He stands before the window
 His shadow slowly fading from the wall
 And from an ivory tower hears her call
 'Let the light surround you'

 Once lost but I was found
 When I heard the stained glass shatter all around me
 I sent the spirits tumbling down the hill
 But I will hold this one on high above me still
 She whispers words to clear my mind
 I once could see but now at last I'm blind

 I know it's easier to walk away than look it in the eye
 But I had given all than I could take
 And now I've only habits left to break
 Tonight I'll still be lying here
 Surrounded in all the light
