There's so many reasons for why not to smile
First, there's a man out there with no home
His world is quiet-colored and filled with trials.
Second, there's women with no freedom
Filling the roles as victims of delight.
There's spirits filled with pride
Greeted by hatred and tyrant crocodiles.
There's men with broken and quiet feelings,
That society has convinced us are good dealings.
Third, there's millionaires with so much money
But not enough to buy them happiness.
Now if you listen closely
Closely enough.
I'll tell you what you need to know about
Smiling.
I saw a lonely girl once, contemplating her existence.
I saw her standing there, aware of the load she bears.
Her eyes were weary and bright.
She looked down with the intention to cry.
I am I,
Lost as a light during the night.
I am I,
Who was blessed with a smile that could convince you of anything.
Smile.
Because nothing is perfect, and that's perfectly okay.
