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
