To Find a Smiling Face

There must be a place to find a smiling face, To share some joy each day just in being. Never, though I search, through this scary place Is there just one smile I'm seeing. Will I ever find a place where I belong, Where faces smile 'stead of frowning? Is it really me who's always in the wrong? Oh why, oh why don't I belong? Different I may be, but how are they to see When never do they try to know me? Can't they ever see, when they look at me, Someone wanting to belong? Silly tricks I play, are just to find a way To show them I'm alive and breathing. Deep within my heart, I live alone, apart. Oh why, oh why don't I belong? There must be somewhere Someone who'd really care And see beyond this mask I'm wearing. Magic that I do, all my powers too I would gladly give to you. If you'd only love me, If you'd only hold me, Maybe just a smile would do it. There must be a place to find a smiling face And know at last that I belong.
