Sunrise of Your Smile Songtext
von Michael Card

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

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 blessed 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


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

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
I would wander weary miles
I would wander weary miles
I would wander weary miles
If I could see the sunrise of your smile
