This if the Polar Vortex Song Game. The challenge was to write a song that uses one phrase from Edgar Allen Poe's poem, "Alone".
Normalizing not reborn
As they clouds they hold their form
Yes there’s lightning in the sky
But the storms not passing by
And as myself if I could surrender
And to myself if I could surrender
from my fear from my past
when the things i love don’t last
From my sorrow i cannot (could not) awaken
To joy I cannot trespass
And as myself if I could surrender
And to myself if I could surrender
From the truth to the trial
Facing failure since a child
Upon a walk right through the valley
Looking behind
And as myself if I could surrender
And to myself if I could surrender
