Contemplation

Cry tears until you've none to make. Do be true to yourself, never a fake. Live like the world is yours to take, For your sake, for your sake. Keep your anger low in a rift. Sing your sorrows until they drift. Smile until your low spirits lift. Life is a gift, life is a gift.

It most certainly is. They have done study's with depressed people and even when they don't feel like smiling if they smile it creates a positive internal response. Maybe that's what they mean when they say fake it till you make it.
