about

First song Beau and I wrote after 9/11

lyrics

Take no prisoner, leave no trace, make no wave
Freedom’s illusion, home of the rich and the slave
Cynics and critics, making the news, creating a scene
Destiny lies in the fools who refuse to give up on a dream

And I love people who smile
If everybody smiles, we’ll have a hometown all over the world
I love people who smile
If everybody smiles, we’ll have a hometown all over the world

Wear it well and it could appear in your heart
Indelibly printed on someone a world apart
Lights in the window all through our darkest day
Human kindness outdistances being afraid

And I love people who smile
If everybody smiles, we’ll have a hometown all over the world
I love people who smile
If everybody smiles, we’ll have a hometown all over the world

“I don’t trust the American smile. They smile for nothing.
I think it’s to disarm you or something.”
”No, I don’t think so. I smile because I want to make some kind of a connection.
I look at someone and I think… we’re connected”

I love people who smile
If everybody smiles, we’ll have a hometown all over the world
I love people who smile
If everybody smiles, we’ll have a hometown all over the world

(you sing) I love people who smile…
(me) If everybody smiles, we’ll have a hometown all over the world
What a wonderful world.
