Surrender Lyrics - Original Broadway Cast

Here I stand, 

No crown, no land 

And yet prepared to tender 

My unconditional surrender 

To pledge my plight, to reunite 

A mother and her son. 

This woman you chained, 

This woman I love 

Know just how brave she can be 

And dont shed a tear, not for me 

Her own need is to embrace 

A son whos never seen her face. 

And so it is my turn has come, 

As ever her defender 

With joy as heart I surrender. 

Chain me now and set her free 

To heed her young sons ball 

Let me trade my life for hers 

And Ill surrender all.
