You say theres nothing to smile about And I'd have to say thats true You say the world's in disarray And we haven't got a clue You say theres wars and famines Disasters quakes and floods Neighborhoods filled with broken homes The streets run red with blood You say we look through shattered eyes And hear with deafened ears Refuse to try on others shoes Or answer to their tears You say you've lost all hope That we've gone beyond repair Our problems are too many Still the system doesn't care You say we're all too selfish That we'll never make it out You've lost your faith in humanity Your heart succumbed to doubt My friend I understand And I fear these sentiments true I do not hold the answers But this I say to you Hope is only lost When negativity ensues You say theres nothing to smile about I say, I smile for You

I Smile For You
You say theres nothing to smile about And I'd have to say thats true You say the world's in disarray And we haven't got a clue You say theres wars and famines Disasters quakes and floods Neighborhoods filled with broken homes The streets run red with blood You say we look through shattered eyes And hear with deafened ears Refuse to try on others shoes Or answer to their tears You say you've lost all hope That we've gone beyond repair Our problems are too many Still the system doesn't care You say we're all too selfish That we'll never make it out You've lost your faith in humanity Your heart succumbed to doubt My friend I understand And I fear these sentiments true I do not hold the answers But this I say to you Hope is only lost When negativity ensues You say theres nothing to smile about I say, I smile for You
