[Verse 1]
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
In acceptance and forgiveness I'm delivered from denial
I think of you and I can't help but smile

[Verse 2]
And I can't help but smile
At the funny way I fought so hard before
I swam against your 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

[Chorus]
I'm through confessin'
I learned my lesson
The windin' road has 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

[Chorus]
I'm through confessin'
I learned my lesson
The windin' 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
[Outro]
And I can't help but smile
