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
