Rejoice — The Smile of Man Lyrics
[Verse 1]
It was long ago, still I recall
A very young child
He was left all alone and through it all
He never would smile
[Verse 2]
I held out my hand, he reached for me
Love there was strong
Though he could not speak, he smiled at me
He knew all along
[Interlude]
[Chorus]
Rejoice, rejoice
Have faith in the smile of man
The answer's been ours all through
Rejoice, rejoice
The smallest child understands
All the love is at you command
With a smile from you, woah, oh, ho, ho
[Cello Solo]
[Chorus]
Rejoice, rejoice
Have faith in the smile of man
It may be the last thing you do
Rejoice, rejoice
Don't you see, can't you understand?
If you just turn this way again
I'll smile with you, ooh, yeah
It was long ago, still I recall
A very young child
He was left all alone and through it all
He never would smile
[Verse 2]
I held out my hand, he reached for me
Love there was strong
Though he could not speak, he smiled at me
He knew all along
[Interlude]
[Chorus]
Rejoice, rejoice
Have faith in the smile of man
The answer's been ours all through
Rejoice, rejoice
The smallest child understands
All the love is at you command
With a smile from you, woah, oh, ho, ho
[Cello Solo]
[Chorus]
Rejoice, rejoice
Have faith in the smile of man
It may be the last thing you do
Rejoice, rejoice
Don't you see, can't you understand?
If you just turn this way again
I'll smile with you, ooh, yeah
