Shadows lengthen as light dims, ego casts a long one
Over life, when there is barely a flicker seen
Of the inner light, surrender becomes hard
In that darkness, ego claims to fight for our rights
Which surrender allegedly gives away
A shadow can never light the way, the ego seeks
To hide by the light of the world, which plays to its strength
Everyone else is doing the same, those who surrender are few
They brave the dark, where no one else is seen
Drifting by the strength of a strange current, taking them downstream
Into a cave with a million candles, burning without melting wax
There isn’t a shadow of doubt, ego fights and surrender courts the world
