There are places in my heart
And corners of my mind
That I've hidden from Your light
Like buried treasure
Deep inside of me
I don't want You to see
I keep it to myself

But You give Your love to me
You open up Your heart unselfishly
Lord, in Your embrace now I can say
I Surrender

Everything I held so precious
Everything I kept away
I give it up, give it up
All for You,
I give it all for You
Everything I held as treasure
I give it all for You
I give it all for You

In your light
I feel a new power coming over me
Calling me to Your surrender
I gotta find the answer
What is this Your love has opened up inside?
Suddenly I cannot hide

You gave Your love to me
You open up Your heart unselfishly
Lord, in Your embrace now I can say
I surrender

Everything I held so precious
Everything I kept away
I give it up, give it up
All for You,
I give it all for You
Everything I held as treasure
I give it all for You
I give it all for You

'Cause Your love is everything to me
And in your light I finally see
Oh, I can't hold it back
Everything I've hidden deep inside
Lord, I Surrender
Surrender
Surrender
I give it all to You

You give Your love to me
You open up your heart unselfishly
How can I not do the same for You?
I Surrender

Everything I held so precious
Everything I kept away
I give it up, Give it up
All for You,
I give it all for You
Everything I held as treasure
I give it all for You
I give it all for You

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
