Am                   Em            Dm                               
My hands hold safely to my dreams. Clutching tightly not one has fallen. 
Am                   Em            Dm                                   Am 
So many years I've shaped each one. Reflecting my heart, showing who I am. 
                  Em         Dm    
Now you're asking me to show what I'm holding oh so tightly 
Am                  Em             Dm 
Can't open my hands;can't let go. Does it matter? Should I show you? 
F                    G 
Can't you let me go? 
 
Chorus: 
C          G         Am   G       F 
Surrender, surender. You whisper gently. 
C                     G      G#                  Am 
You say I will be free. I know but can't you see 
       G      F       Am    G       F 
My dreams are in me, My dreams are in me 
 
Verse 2: 
Am              Em           Dm                       
Say you have a plan for me and that you want the best for my life 
Am                    Em          Dm 
Told me the world has yet to see what you can do with  
                             Am                             Em  
One that's committed to your call. I know of course what I should do 
   Dm 
That I can't hold these dreams forever. 
Am                 Em          Dm 
But if I give them now to you, will you take them away forever? 
F                   G 
Or can I dream again?
