LYRICS
Surprise gave rise
To the unexpected
Surprise gave rise
To myths erected
Learned my lesson well
You never can tell
Straight up to heaven
Or right out of hell
Surprise gave rise
To startled
Surprise gave rise
To heart-held
If you don’t choose
More likely to lose
Gateway to heaven
Of hangman’s noose
Surprise gave rise
To appreciated
Surprise gave rise
To alleviated
Come to realize
Our life’s prize
A birth on Earth
Is given heaven
