"Oh Such Sweet Surrender"

[Intro: Instrumental]

[Verse 1:]
At the edge of a forgotten canyon
As the sunset casts its crimson light
I’ve decided nature’s my sole companion
As I drive off into the desert night
My worries fade like distant dreams
Carried away by a southwest wind

[Chorus: layered vocals]
Sweet..., oh such sweet surrender...
Live..., live my life without care...
Oh time stands still... in mountain splendor...
As dawn paints gold..., the morning air...
Oh sweet... such sweet surrender...

I want to live... live my life without care...
My soul finds peace... in wild grandeur...
As nature’s truth... lies everywhere...

[Verse 2:]
Giant sequoias and ancient redwoods
Hold ancient secrets of times long gone  
I wonder at life on a dusty backroad
As I behold the beauty of a breaking dawn
My heart is full, no need for words
Swept away on the wings of eagles

[Verse 3:]
Rocky Mountains and Appalachian trails
They call to me like a familiar friend
I hear their whispers on the eastern gales
A melody that’s hard to comprehend
So I close my eyes and let it play
A subtle symphony I hear today

[Verse 4:]
There's freedom in our wild domains
Where borders blur and fall away
Leave your cares, and  the day’s remains
For those of us who wish to stay
These treasured lands, this rich terrain
Are calling us toward a better way

[Chorus: layered vocals]
Sweet..., oh such sweet surrender...
Live..., live my life without care...
Oh time stands still... in mountain splendor...
As dawn paints gold..., the morning air...

Oh sweet... such sweet surrender...
I want to live... live my life without care...
My soul finds peace... in wild grandeur...
As nature’s truth... lies everywhere...

[Chorus: layered vocals]
Sweet..., oh such sweet surrender...
Live..., live my life without care...
Oh time stands still... in mountain splendor...
As dawn paints gold..., the morning air...

Oh sweet... such sweet surrender...
I want to live... live my life without care...
My soul finds peace... in wild grandeur...
As nature’s truth... lies everywhere...
[Outro: Instrumental]
