Lyrics Jon Anderson – Surrender
Text:
What a way to surrender… surrender
What a way to surrender… surrender
It was a mid summer night dream long ago
I kinda caught me a mood about the hip met
I know it sounds pretty crazy, really
When you think about it but
I heard voices calling me, saying
Have you heard the good news their song about
You realize what we’re talking about
About the power of love
Why don’t the united nations
Incur a special nights celebration
We’re going to send the weapons up on a starry night
Explode them above the atmosphere, it sounds right
The whole damn world will be watching
The magic mushroom in the bright sky
Such a night of splendor
What a way to surrender
What a way to surrender
See me off to grab all the colonels and generals
To write a letter to the heads of the government
Asking them to name the day
If you think anything of anyone
Why don’t you sit right down and write that letter
Getting rid of that fear, the sooner the better
How about this war, a mid summer night dream
A night we all will remember, all will remember
We’re going to send all the weapons up on a starry night
Explode them above the atmosphere, it sure sounds right
The whole damn world will be cheering
Such a night of splendor, what a way to surrender
What a way to surrender… surrender
What a way to surrender… surrender
