How Can I Surrender All
We're a little messy
A little broken
A little crazy
Okay a lot crazy
A little fragile
But we're open hearted honest people
Trying to be a family
Isn't this what normal families do
Normal families look like you
Normal families sit in pews
But we're not normal
We're abnormal
Can't 'cha tell by this little scene
That we don't fit into your formal fucking high falutin fancy facile faith routine
I need an aspirin
I need a cocktail
I need a goddamn time machine
All the normal families so serene
All the normal families squeaky clean
I didn't sign up for this
Didn't raise my hand
Didn't sense the call
I wasn't made for this
But I've got to navigate it all
I've made a million mistakes
And I have strength
But I'm not strong
So you can sing your song
But how can I surrender all
My son is perfect
Okay, not perfect
But the kid really loves his dad
But his dad refuses
Yes, refuses
To get the treatment that he needs so bad
I'm not a doctor
I'm not a lawyer
I'm not a therapist or shrink
I'm a mom who's on the brink
Of her faith going extinct
So, how do you do it
Is there anything to it
Or is it all one big charade
Isn't anybody suffering
Anybody struggling
To join the big parade
The pomp and circumstance of praise
Has anybody thought to pray
For the family in the front row
Who looks a little bit dismayed
I didn't sign up for this
Didn't raise my hand
Didn't sense the call
I wasn't made for this
But I've got to navigate it all
I've made a million mistakes
And I have strength
But I'm not strong
So you can sing your song
But how can I surrender all
And I'm sorry to invade
And that you had to trade your peace
For this crazy bunch
You'll be forgetting all about us
By the time that you are sitting down to brunch
So enjoy all those mimosas
I'm sorry we imposed apon your thing
I wish that we were normal
I wish the lack of welcome didn't sting
I wish I had a prayer to bring
Wish I could feel you when I sing
I surrender all
I surrender all
All to thee my Blessed Savior
I surrender
I didn't sign up for this
Didn't raise my hand
Didn't sense the call
I'm not cut out for this
Can you help me navigate it all
I've made a billion mistakes
And I have strength
But I'm not strong
And I can sing the song
But how can I surrender all
How can I surrender all
A little broken
A little crazy
Okay a lot crazy
A little fragile
But we're open hearted honest people
Trying to be a family
Isn't this what normal families do
