I SmileI dedicate this song to recession, depression and unemploymentThis song's for you Today's a new day But there is no sunshine Nothing but clouds And it's dark in my heart And it feels like a cold night Today's a new day But where are my blue skies? Where is the love and the joy That you promised me? Tell me it's alright I'll be honest with you I almost gave up, but a power That I can't explain Fell from Heaven like a shower Now When I think how much better I'm gon' be when this is over I smile, Even though I hurt, see, I smile I know God is working so I smile Even though I've been here for a while What you do? I smile Come on, smile It's so hard to look up when you've been down Sure would hate to see you give up now God's people, you look so much better when you smile, so smile Now every day ain't gon' be perfect, But it still don't mean today don't have purpose Come on Today's a new day But there is no sunshine Nothing but clouds And it's dark in my heart And it feels like a cold night It ain't easy, but today's a new day But tell me where are my blue skies Where is that love yo? Where is the love and the joy That you promised me? Tell me it's alright The truth is I almost gave up, but a power That I can't explain The Holy Ghost power, yo Fell from Heaven like a shower Now Now know we've been hurt you but still I smile, Even though I hurt, see, I smile I know God is working so I smile Even though I've been here for a while Still, I smile, Hallelujah, smile It's so hard to look up when you've been down Sure would hate to see you give up now God's people, you look so much better when you smile Let's go, smile for me Can you just smile for me? Whatever you're in right now Smile for me, smile Can you just smile for me? And my people say You look so much better when you You look so much better when you You look so much better when you You look so much better when you I say you look so much better when you And while you're waiting You look so much better when you And while you're praying You look so much better when you Look in the mirror You look so much better when you Always remember You look so much better when you smile Come on I almost gave up, I almost gave up But a power, that I can't explain But the Holy Ghost power, yo Fell from Heaven like a shower Came down from Heaven now Hardships, difficulties Right now Tears storms this is what I do I smile Even though I hurt, see, I smile What it feels good I know God is working so I smile All things are working Even though I've been here for a while Still I smile, Smile, hallelujah It's so hard to look up when you've been down I know it's hard right now Sure would hate to see you give up now Because you're a winner You look so much better when you smile You look better, so, smile Dallas, you look so much better when you New Orleans, you look so much better when you come one Cleveland, you look so much better when you Detroit, you look so much better when you Philly, you look so much better when you Jersey, you look so much better when you L.A., you look so much better when you All my people say you look so much better when you smile See, I just don't want you to be happy 'Cause you gotta have something happening I want you to have joy 'Cause can't nobody take that away from you I see you smile |
