Why do you smile so?
What makes you come alive?
I watch everything fall away around you,
but that smile stays at your side.
Do you seek salvation?
Are you not afraid to fall?
All the world comes tumbling down,
but I find you still stand tall.
Where do you find this strength?
How do you handle this pain?
You carry yourself with grace and honor,
and carry me the same.
Who have you turned to now?
When will you find me again?
Somehow I’ve lost you along the way,
but you’re still here within.

Why do you smile so?
What makes you come alive?
I watch everything fall away around you,
but that smile stays at your side.
Do you seek salvation?
Are you not afraid to fall?
All the world comes tumbling down,
but I find you still stand tall.
Where do you find this strength?
How do you handle this pain?
You carry yourself with grace and honor,
and carry me the same.
Who have you turned to now?
When will you find me again?
Somehow I’ve lost you along the way,
but you’re still here within.
