Smile

Story Behind The Song

Some songs can be painstaking to compose. The idea for this song came to me one day with the phrase "God has a smile on his face." The rest of the song flowed out of me quickly as I applied that phrase and more lyrics to a tune I had been playing with for a few weeks. I can just picture God smiling down on humanity as we ignorantly struggle through our existences. He, in his infinite wisdom, knows our destinies are secure in Him.

Song Description

Life offers a perpetual set of choices to every individual that ultimately determine our future. But at times, everything we do can feel as if it is in vain. But each individual has been endowed by their Creator with a unique purpose. Sometimes the search for this purpose can take a lifetime.

Lyrics

sometimes i feel so crazy and
it's been such a long, long time
since i have felt fine

waiting here for years
the tears they flow
and the pain has gone away

never thought i'd ever
see the truth until
the day you looked at me

so come on let's go
let's overthrow the shadows
and the chains that we have made

the road is long and where it leads
God only knows with a
smile upon His face

sometimes i feel so crazy and
it's been such a long, long time
since i have felt fine

it breaks my heart to see you cry
but your so called love is
nothing but a lie

just like the waves they rush right in
they turn around and
then they run away

so come on let's go
let's overthrow the shadows
and the chains that we have made

the road is long and where it leads
God only knows with a
smile upon His face

sometimes i feel so crazy and
it's been such a long, long time

sometimes i feel so crazy and
it's been such a long, long time

sometimes i feel so crazy and
it's been such a long, long time
since i have felt fine
since i have felt fine
since i have felt fine

sometimes i feel so crazy and
it's been such a long, long time
since i have felt fine
