And he smiled, and he was free
From all the burdens weighing on me
And the rest of the world – he was a child,
Lost in the wonder expressed in a smile.
And he smiled and followed the game,
Absorbing knowledge and more of the same.
There's still so much out there, so much much still unseen;
Untouched by the world, he studies each scene.
And he smiled, and hid what was lost;
No one could fathom the terrible cost
That he's payed all his life, that never is full;
His smile's the weapon to desperation's pull.
And he smiled, and the world seemed to stop;
All his sorrows and burdens, swept from the top.
He know's they're returning; he treasures the peace.
He's lost in the wonder that never will cease.
AN: Well, I needed something lighter after Empty Chairs... Thank you so much for taking the time to read this! Gramercy, and God bless you.
