"Serenity"

Music and Lyrics by Danny Surico

Arranged by The Future Laureates


I’m unravelin’. The bits and pieces of my skin,

They’re still burnin’ while I fall.

Broken glass shatters on the pavement.

That’s the last thing I remember about the fire a December ago.

I am here, staring in the mirror.

All I fear avoids my eyes.

‘Cause when you’re burning, you get the sensation

That the air you breathe in sparks a fire inside.



Now God, shine down on me.

So I can see the things I need.

I need to wise up a little bit.

I wanna understand the difference

Between change that’s brewing within

And commotion of the world we’re living in.

All I ask is while I’m burning: un-blindfold me.



Time will tell if I survive myself.

The scars hurt like hell when I look again.

I’m not giving in to the temptation,

For there are fires within that guide the way for men.

Now God, shine down on me.

So I can see the things I need.

I need to wise up a little bit.

I wanna understand the difference

Between change that’s brewing within

And commotion of the world we’re living in.

All I ask is while I’m burning: grant me serenity.

Un-blindfold me. So I can see the light that leads me.
