Surround Me


They say no man's an island
but I tend to disagree
I guess they've never seen my island,

And where it lies at sea
I'm lost inside my memory.
I'm still in disbelief.
If I could paint a picture for you
this is what you'd see

I'm down on my knees
Begging you to rescue me
Please stop me
Don't let me run
Surround me...
Surround me...now

A wounded man sounds desperate
when he's lost all his belief
Can you look into my eyes
and say you won't betray me

We're running out of time
How precious time can be
I'm counting all the moments
of the times you could have helped me

I'm down on my knees
Begging you to rescue me
Please stop me
Don't let me run
Surround me...
Surround me

I'm down on my knees
Begging you to rescue me
Please stop me
Don't let me run
Surround me...
Surround me
Surround me now

This song is how I see my relationship with my Higher Power. It's there and ready to surround me, if I only I would stop running from it everytime I'm afraid. I need to run to my Higher Power instead of from her. She is the mist on the path, surrounding me.

For some strange reason I often seem to run from that which is best for me.

Running to instead of from sounds like a good solution.

Thanks Rex I sure see you on this one!

I find when I'm running it's because I dont like the answer.

Awesome lyrics...... and you're surrounded even when you think you're running from your HP. She is there!

Rex - another wonderful post. It's okay to stop running. It's okay to rest and let the arms of your HP surround you. This happens in your mind and in the hugs you receive from those of us who know you and love you. It was wonderful meeting you and hugging you - keep those hugs with you for days when you need them. I also love the photograph you've used today. You seem to have an amazing collection.
Hope your travel is still going well. Miss you.
