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
