Sometimes I like to smile
Just because I know that I can
Through everything that has happened
In my life and in yours
Things can get discouraging
And though nothing seems more normal than a frown
There is still that moment when you realize
That there is bliss in every horror
And I realize that I like to smile
Not only because I know that I can
But because I realize that through everything that has happened
In my life and in yours
Things can get devastating
And though nothing seems more normal than that upside down smile
There is still the instant when you simply know
That there is a dream in every nightmare
And I realize that I love to smile
Simply because I know that I can
And that through everything that has happened
In my life and in yours
Things can get excruciating
And though I sometimes want nothing more than to frown
There is that moment when it is easiest to understand
That there is a joy in every mishap
And I realize that I like to smile
