Smile

If you smile and I smile Ain't seen happy days In a long while If as a dark child I smile I guess dark days Been delayed for a while But don't fuss Get out trust If you put in trust Swallow dust if you must Wash the dirt from my face Keep a sacred rag just in case When the clock stops And as a friend A stranger knocks If from the sky Hail falls Crush the things That so desperately need to crawl Smile I leave this world Graciously So don't look back Hopelessly Just as the storm turns One side of the world mourns But if you smile And I smile I don’t know ain’t seen happy days In a long while
