Sunshine Smiles

Sunshine smiles a thousand miles
   while on islands crocodiles sing
Beguile me worthwhile me or else
   I’ll die unloved
Lifelong friends through river bends
   and pretending never ends
The world’s upended I’m defended
   like a fortress high above

Why can’t I become the one that I want?
‘Cause I just can’t accept the want that I own

Only children run the wilderness
   kill or else your killed
It’s silly building and gilding
   to hide the cold grey stone

Why can’t I become the one that I want
‘Cause I just can’t accept the want that I own
If only I could leave my fears
   in a cradle made of sand
On the other hand I just don’t understand

Standing tall the mighty fall
   while the small town’s walls stand tall
Leaves me calling calling
   but there’s always god above
Yes I’m calling calling
   to see who you’re thinking of
Yes I’m calling calling
   I guess I’m falling in love
Yes I’m falling in love
