Smile
And no one sees
How it hurts inside me
Just how fragile I can be
Lies
Try to hide them in your eyes
Let them mirror one cool guy
A man to be, to idolise
Yes
I understand
How it feels to be a man
Who's fighting with the tide of motion
And I know that
Smile
Show the world you're alright
Turn the other cheek and say
Things will be fine anyway
This
I understand
How it feels to be a man
I know how.......... it can be so
Smile
And the soul raises the sun and the spirits higher
And darling the same's all we ever seem to do
For so long a search for someone to be like you [smile]
Who can feel so sad for someone to
Oh..yes
I understand
How your feet just can't be found
When you're fighting against a tide that just won't turn
I you go do
Smile
A way to say
