Surrender

They say everything happens for a reason,
but I still don’t know why.
Maybe it’s the season
that makes me want to sigh.

Loneliness and hurt,
chaos and pain.
What’s going on here,
and will it ever be the same?

Questions left unanswered,
feelings left unrequited.
Dreams fall into dismay,
and problems turn one‑sided.

What’s going on here?
I still don’t know.
All I have is my soul
and a heart that doesn’t believe it so.

Will the sky ever be blue?
Will stars ever shine again?
I wish I knew.
But I miss my friend.

What’s going on here?
I will never know.
If only you were near.

I can’t even call you—
I’m full of fear.
My chest hurts,
and my ears ring.
It’s so bad
I can’t even sing.

My world is on fire.
My smile is gone.
But I think I finally know
what went wrong.

Love is patient.
Love is blind.
What’s going on here?
I’m no longer in control.
I need someone to steer—
Jesus Christ, be near.
