Smile the sun
Some people aren’t all that bad
Sometimes they can intrigue
The things they want, the things they know
When you ask em what they think
I’ve lived a lot a life too young
And met some wise old folks
Some fools who beat their chests like drums
And some who sorrow chokes
Each of them are all unique
With their own tale to tell
From yellowed pages with faded ink
To those with ink yet awell.
A cruel man wasnt always cruel
Nor A wise man always wise
But the story told behind these fools
Is told within their eyes
All these people miserable
And beautiful in their ways
Through experience incomprehensible
I hope to one day say
I hope to see you smile the sun
Feel it’s warmth upon your skin
Embrace the good that is to come
Soon as your life begins
Though beaten down and broken
Life has left you in the dust
With trauma left unspoken
You’ve seen the world as rust
So I walk these hollow streets
With a smile on my cheek
Because sometimes all anyone needs
Is someone to stop and speak
Tell them they deserve to smile the sun
Feel it’s warmth upon your skin
Embrace the good that is to come
Soon as your life begins
Life is hard, and life is short
Especially for folks like you and me
When your mental progress report
Is failing everything except philosophy
Just remember that you matter
Thst your trials meant a damn
That even when lost and scattered
That Youre special so you can
One day still smile the sun Feel it’s warmth upon your skin
Embrace the good that is to come
Soon as your life begins
