(R. Ballard)

Ackee Music, Inc. ASCAP



So near to surrender

So near to an end

So near to surrender

The smile is to pretend.



Oh you might think your small

With your back to a wall

Oh you might think your sad

When you've been hurt so bad.



But when somebody cares for you

Someone who shares

Your not near to surrender anymore.



(Guitar Solo)



So near, So near to surrender

Your futures, your futures unknown

But don't you surrender.



You fought, you fought for long

Theirs always a face

Waiting to take your place.



Theirs always a clown

Working on your lonely frown

But when losing is not on your mind

Maybe you'll find your not near to surrender



Somebody cares for you 

Someone who shares

Your not near to surrender anymore

Don't surrender anymore.
