Scribbling In The Sane

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 & 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 & 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
