(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
