Lyrics

Verse 1
My life?s ? moving like a freight train
Express ? Service to the station
No passenger pickups ? along the way
My plan ? world domination
Rock star ? loved in every nation
Impossible pressures ? every day

Build 1
So I should keep moving
Cause I ain?t got time to stop
But sometimes the Lord just grabs you
Ready or not
(Tonight it?s ?)

Chorus 1
Total capitulation
Call the United Nations
I?m running up my white flag
Lord I surrender
I should be out there yellin?
Rockin? and rollin? tonight but?
Praying to you feels right

Verse 2
Eyes wide ? with teachings from the good book
Of my life ? I took a long, hard look
Seized the moment when you showed the way
Now I long ? to be strong and faithful
But sometimes ? I?m cruel and hateful
I try to learn each lesson ? that breaks the day

Build 2
Yeah I?m gonna keep reading
I got so much more to learn
I gotta fight to be a Christian
Tonight I yearn (to give you)

Chorus 2
Total capitulation
Be part of your great nation
I?m running up my white flag
All my sins forgiven
I don?t wanna be lost and lonely
Wasting away my life when?
Loving on you feels right

Bridge
Looking back now ? just seems funny
Loving possessions ? worshiping money
Blaming and raging ? acts of defiance
Pride in achievements ? self reliance
Teaching through choices ? I?m making mistakes
You forgive the bad ones ? but raising stakes
You?re nurturing faith ? making me stronger
Opening my eyes ? to a world full of wonder

Verse 3
Now I found religion
I help the lost and injured
Step by step, day by day
Past sins ? have been forgiven
By our Lord who art in heaven
Now I help more lost souls find their way

Build 3
I?m gonna keep moving
Like a freight train down this track
I ain?t afraid of nothing
I know you?ve got my back
(tonight it?s)

Chorus 3
Total capitulation
Lord unite the nations
I?m running up my white flag
Lord I surrender to ya
I?m gonna be out there yelling
Spreading the word tonight cause
Worshiping you feels right
Loving on you feels right
Prying on you feels right
It?s all about you ? tonight
