| Reject the worldly lie that says,
|
| That life lies always up ahead,
|
| Let power go before control becomes a crust around your soul,
|
| Escape the hunger to possess,
|
| And soul-diminishing success,
|
| This world is full of narrow lives,
|
| I pray by grace your smile survives.
|
| Chorus- For I would wander weary miles,
|
| Would welcome ridicule, my child,
|
| To simply see the sunrise of your smile,
|
| To see the light behind your eyes,
|
| The happy thought that makes you fly,
|
| Yes, I would wander weary miles,
|
| To simply see the sunrise of your smile.
|
| Now close your eyes so you can see,
|
| Your own unfinished memories,
|
| Now open them, for time is brief,
|
| And you’ll be blest beyond belief,
|
| Now glance above you at the sky,
|
| There’s beauty there to blind the eye,
|
| I ask all this then wait awhile,
|
| To see the dawning of your smile.
|
| Chorus |
