I Surrender
(Traci Toguchi)
29-08-2006
Lyrics & Melody: Traci Toguchi, Harmony: Daniel Ho
"Living in fear is more painful than loving through it." - Traci Toguchi
Many times, we put pressure on ourselves to achieve...
Inspired after doing Oprah's "Live Your Best Life" online workshop. The lesson was on "Surrender". She told her own inspiring story that I connected with. That night, this song flowed through me and on the piece of paper still left with watermarks from my tears.
(See the full story and explanation in the Feel the Breeze CD full color liner notes)
When I was brought to tears
When I was filled with fears
All I could do was ask for strength
My heart was full of pain
It only seemed to rain
Then I opened my eyes
And what came was a big surprise
It was Him answering my only prayer
Chorus (background vocals on third time):
I surrender (ha-’awipio ka ‘uhane)
I surrender (ha-’awipio ke ola mau)
From the moment I wake up and go to sleep
I surrender all that I am
I surrender all that I do
I surrender my life to you
I only wanted to see
I only wanted to be
All I could do was surrender it all
My head was full of doubt
Wonderin’ what life is about
Then I felt the peace
And what came was epiphany
It was Him answering my only prayer
Chorus
