Cover art for Sweet Surrender lyrics by John Denver

though i am not aware of the timeline on which this song was written, i would imagine it was during a tough part of john's life because there was a time in his life where he admitted he was searching pretty high and pretty low for happiness, peace, and understanding. or at least in my mind, this song was written during a tough time, which makes it even more beautiful that he sweetly surrendered himself in order to "live, live without care" because his life was indeed "worth living" and he didn't need to see the future or the end to know that life was worth it.

This song was written for a Walt Disney movie. It was written about a Vietnam War veteran coming home to the Northwest US and wondering what he was going to do with the rest of his life.
