I smile
I smile for the world lost touch
When life is just a bit too much
I smile through my chest pains
With glass and acid in veins
I smile when I’m lonely
Holding a happy memory
I smile
I smile at crowded places
Love a kaleidoscope of faces
I smile when they look sad
Not up to me judge good or bad
I smile so they don’t feel alone
We know pain makes a heart moan
I smile
I smile at all whether friend or foe
Because I see and want you to know
I smile to lift your day no strings
While your heart sobs mine sings
I smile to get you through pain
It isn’t something I just fain
I smile
I smile to make days brighter
The levity alway much lighter
I smile under heavy rule
I’m why the king kept a fool
I smile at all my greatest fears
And alone I smile even with tears
I smile
