"Smile" lyrics

I can't help but smile
While I lie here in the sun
Come undone
With the consequences of what came before
Still in store
And acceptance and forgiveness
I'm delivered from denial
I think of you
And I can't help but smile

And I can't help but smile
At the funny way I fought so hard before
Swam against a river
I never trusted any shore
Now I float beneath the sun in sweet surrender
Like a child, I think of you
And I can't help but smile

I'm through confessin'
I learned my lesson
The winding road
Brought me home
And I can't help but smile

When I look back on who I was before I knew
Before I knew beyond a doubt that I'm a part of you
And as I wait here like a prisoner for the sentence of his trial
I think of you
And I can't help but smile

I'm through confessin'
I learned my lesson
The winding road
Brought me home
And I can't help but smile
When I look back on who I was before I knew
Before I knew beyond a doubt that I'm a part of you
And as I wait here like a prisoner 'bout to walk his final mile
I think of you
And I can't help but smile
I can't help but smile
