Jon Anderson - Surrender Lyrics

What a way to Surrender -- Surrender
What a way to Surrender -- Surrender

It was a mid-summer night dream long ago
I kinda got me a mood
About me, hit me,
Something was trying to tell me something

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 personified

You realise what we're talking about
About the power of love
Why don't the United Nations
Declare a special night celebration

We're gonna 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 mushrooms in the bright sky
Such a night of splendour
What a way to surrender

What a way to surrender

See me off down to grab the colonels and the generals
To write a letter to the heads of the Government -- Government
Asking them to name, the day-ay-aya
If you think anything of anyone
Why don't sit right down and write that letter
Getting rid of that fear the sooner the better
How about this for a mid-summer night dream
A night we all will remember
All will remember

We're gonna send the weapons up on a starry night
Explode them above the atmosphere,
It sure sounds right (believe me)
The whole damn world will be watching
The whole damn world will be cheering
Such a night of splendour
What a way to surrender
What a way to surrender
What a way to surrender
What a way to surrender
