Smile Through the Tears

I've got a smile 
On my face 
During those hard times 
When I am sad 
And feel like the entire world 
Is against me 
For I know I've got to keep going.

I've got a smile 
On my face
When the tears 
Are rolling down my cheeks 
And all I want to do 
Is hide in bed and cry. 

I've got a smile 
On my face 
During those times 
I wish I were not on the earth anymore 
For I know I have to stay strong 
And keep pressing forward 
No matter what battles 
Life throws at me.
