Lost and alone on some forgotten highway

Travelled by many remembered by few

Lookin' for something that i can believe in

Lookin' for something that i'd like to do with my life



There's nothin' behind me and nothin' that ties me

To somethin' that might have been true yesterday

Tomorrow is open and right now it seems to be more

Than enough to just be there today



And i don't know what the future is holdin' in store

I don't know where i'm goin', i'm not sure where i've been

There's a spirit that guides me, a light that shines for me

My life is worth the livin', i don't need to see the end



Sweet, sweet surrender

Live, live without care

Like a fish in the water

Like a bird in the air



Sweet, sweet surrender

Live, live without care

Like a fish in the water

Like a bird in the air



Lost and alone on some forgotten highway

Travelled by many remembered by few

Lookin' for something that i can believe in

Lookin' for something that i'd like to do with my life



There's nothin' behind me and nothin' that ties me

To somethin' that might have been true yesterday

Tomorrow is open and right now it seems to be more

Than enough to just be there today



And i don't know what the future is holdin' in store

I don't know where i'm goin', i'm not sure where i've been

There's a spirit that guides me, a light that shines for me

My life is worth the livin', i don't need to see the end



Sweet, sweet surrender

Live, live without care

Like a fish in the water

Like a bird in the air



Sweet, sweet surrender

Live, live without care

Like a fish in the water

Like a bird in the air



Sweet, sweet surrender

Live, live without care

Like a fish in the water

Like a bird in the air



Sweet, sweet surrender

Live, live without care

Like a fish in the water

Like a bird in the air
