I Smile
[00:00.76] "I Smile"
[00:03.77] I dedicate this song to recession, depression and unemployment
[00:12.29] This song's for you
[00:14.05] Today's a new day
[00:17.31] But there is no sunshine
[00:20.81] Nothing but clouds
[00:21.82] And it's dark in my heart
[00:23.60] And it feels like a cold night
[00:27.37] Today's a new day
[00:30.62] But where are my blue skies?
[00:34.13] Where is the love and the joy
[00:36.14] That you promised me?
[00:37.16] Tell me it's alright
[00:39.92] I'll be honest with you
[00:41.42] I almost gave up, but a power
[00:44.47] That I can't explain
[00:48.24] Fell from Heaven like a shower
[00:51.24] Now
[00:51.49] When I think how much better I'm gon' be when this is over
[00:54.51] I smile,
[00:56.76] Even though I hurt, see, I smile
[00:59.77] I know God is working so I smile
[01:03.31] Even though I've been here for a while
[01:05.57] What you do? I smile
[01:07.57] Come on, smile
[01:09.83] It's so hard to look up when you've been down
[01:13.36] Sure would hate to see you give up now
[01:15.66] God's people, you look so much better when you smile, so smile
[01:22.43] Now every day ain't gon' be perfect,
[01:24.43] But it still don't mean today don't have purpose
[01:26.94] Come on
[01:27.47] Today's a new day
[01:30.47] But there is no sunshine
[01:34.23] Nothing but clouds
[01:35.26] And it's dark in my heart
[01:37.02] And it feels like a cold night
[01:39.28] It ain't easy, but today's a new day
[01:43.78] But tell me where are my blue skies
[01:46.32] Where is that love yo?
[01:47.32] Where is the love and the joy
[01:49.33] That you promised me?
[01:50.34] Tell me it's alright
[01:53.86] The truth is I almost gave up, but a power
[01:57.87] That I can't explain
[01:59.87] The Holy Ghost power, yo
[02:01.63] Fell from Heaven like a shower
[02:04.13] Now
[02:05.14] Now know we've been hurt you but still I smile,
[02:09.90] Even though I hurt, see, I smile
[02:13.19] I know God is working so I smile
[02:16.71] Even though I've been here for a while
[02:18.72] Still, I smile,
[02:20.73] Hallelujah, smile
[02:23.23] It's so hard to look up when you've been down
[02:26.74] Sure would hate to see you give up now
[02:29.04] God's people, you look so much better when you smile
[02:34.05] Let's go, smile for me

[03:30.40] But a power, that I can't explain
[03:32.91] But the Holy Ghost power, yo
[03:34.91] Fell from Heaven like a shower
[03:36.45] Came down from Heaven now
