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
