Chorus:
Why is that smile upon your face
When it's such a rainy day
Why are you so happy?
What do you know that I don't know?
I wish I did but ain't been told
So tell me, what's your secret?

I met a girl the other day at the supermarket
Ringing up all of my things
She had the strangest look upon her face
Wish you could have been there
Just to see the way she looked at me
Thought I must look crazy something out of place
But paid it no attention
Just kept going with my business
I looked up because she stepped into my space
Saw pain in her eyes
Her question took me by surprise she said

I didn't have the faintest clue where to begin
So I asked some questions (just to see what I was dealing with)
She told me where she was and where it was she'd been
What an awful tale life hadn't done her well
She had thoughts of leaving
Bridge:
(Before you go) let me tell my story
(Once like you, you know) all guts and no glory
(But now I have joy) the reason why
Who's in my life
That is why you're asking me

See the moral of the story is the whole world's watching you
So be careful what you say and be careful what you do
Never know when it will be your time to show someone the way
So be a guiding light and shine so they'll say
