Tie my hands behind my back
It's a habit, dressed in black
Somewhere buried in the snow
Find a blade to cut these ropes

Are you shocked?
I know
To see a cathedral
Carved out of rock

Mother, I'm a mountain
A holy man
My body is sacred
The colour of the night

Surrender
I remember

Are those tears?
I know
To feel a fortress
Built out of fear

Mother, I'm a mountain
A holy man
My body is sacred
The colour of the night
Mother, I'm a mountain
Himalayan
My mind is wasted
I will always be your child

Surrender
White flag
We are each of us a mystery
Manmade
Show me secrets
That only women know
Hold me high above your head
And let me go

Mother, I'm a mountain
I'm innocent
My skin is a shield
Reflects the morning light
Mother, I'm a mountain
Himalayan
My spirit yields
I will always be your child

Surrender
