A secret in His Smile
I am sitting here typing

In the other room 

Sits a growing boy

A glowing boy

In his hands

A guitar

In his hands

It is music

He sits there

Making magic

With a crooked smile

He knows

Everything there is

About love

And he knows

Just how badly

The sun

Wants to outshine him

The smile shows

His heart is full

Of songs to play

For all the world

Will listen

He could still a room

With a strum

He'll sing

Until night

When we're going

To sleep

And he sings

In our dreams

And makes them

Alright

He turns

To the road

He must play

With that smile

On his boyish face

And a light

In his boyish eyes

A simple strum

Of a six stringed guitar

And the whole world

Is stilled

To sleep

For the night

Music his lover

And he

Music's friend

His name

No one knows

But the music

And the wind

We can all

Only listen

And hope

We may find

The secret

To peace

The secret

To life

For we know

The secret

Is in his smile
