Chin Up

if life starts to get you down
wipe away that saddening frown
lift your face into the air
as if you didn't have a care

keep your pain deep down inside
learn which feelings you need to hide
people wont know how sad you are
for no-one can see an inner scar

do as i say, not as i do
it will work, you'll see it's true
wipe away those unhappy tears
hide away those inner fears

take all pains in your stride
for life is a very bumpy ride
try to smile and always be nice
and you'll get by on this advice!!!
