Tell me the truth - how can you smile
When the whole world is falling apart?
What is your secret, or what do you know
That inspires your gladness of heart?
Tell me the truth - why aren't you worried
About the things that could happen to you?
How can you possibly hold on to hope
When fears might sooner come true?
Tell me the truth - how can you be
So patient while plans go awry?
What is the source of your cheerful song,
Carefree as a bird in the sky?
Tell me the truth - why aren't you angry
That everything is out of control?
How did you learn to be so composed
And satisfied deep in your soul?
I'll tell you the truth - you too can know
This same peace and joy that is mine.
The secret you seek is waiting for you
In the love of Christ the Divine.
