Smile More
(Dminor Cmajor Aminor Bbmajor)
Silent forge and shadow bright
Still the hammer and shield the light
Patient hands lit by flames of gold
Candle burn as the walls go cold
(Gminor Fmajor Cmajor Bbmajor)
Open doors that I just never walked through
Close companion I somehow never knew
Words I'll speak and answers I'll never hear
Far beyond me, I can feel you yet
(Dminor Cmajor Aminor Bbmajor)
So near
Smoke and mirrors and haunted child
Tenderest of heart and anger wild
Secret kept a blade unturned aside
Sternest offer and arms held wide
(Gminor Fmajor Cmajor Bbmajor)
All for nothing and story untold
Poisoned word to leave the blood run cold
Into my hands and onwards fly
Understood and yet unable to
(Dminor Cmajor Aminor Bbmajor)
Ask why
Child of laughter and opened eyes
Pain a mystery and life a prize
Bind your wounds with hope and words unlearnt
Hide the scar of the flame that first burnt
(Gminor Fmajor Cmajor Bbmajor)
Mine to bear and yet not mine alone
Reap the corn I should have seen unsown
Join with the winds on other sky soar
Live to meet again and ask of me
(Dminor Cmajor Aminor Bbmajor)
Smile more
Try to smile more
