Surrender
Mr_Yesterday
Here are the lyrics and vocals I used in Opening/Surrender ft. airtone with no instrumentals and hence a more up-to-date CC license. With respect for the license terms for that piece, these samples are not time aligned with the remix.

Surrender (vocals & lyrics)

When the low sun shines underneath the clouds
near the end of a grey and rainy day
and its warm light washes the Pacific hills
I feel my sadness lift away.
When the west wind blows from far across the sea
above the steadily rising tide
I can settle in to the next gentle wave
and surrender my self to the ride…
The storm will come soon enough, my friend,
so enjoy this peace while it lasts.
We can never know how tomorrow will end
but yesterday’s forever in the past.
That’s one place you can never go again:
any time you were there before.
History marches on in one direction,
while behind us there is nothing any more.
So, when the west wind blows from far across the sea
and hints of music from exotic choirs above
I settle in to the next gentle wave
and imagine that the universe is love…
