Smile

[00:15.26] Verse 1: Jeff Williams]

[00:18.99] Child, our daughter

[00:22.99] Sit while we talk awhile

[00:27.50] You've done no misdeed

[00:31.49] Still, they'll put your life on trial

[00:35.74] Born like your family

[00:39.73] Far from any state of grace

[00:43.73] You're as perfect as the wind and sky

[00:47.99] But they'll treat you like you're out of place

[00:52.02] This world is cold

[00:56.24] The power's with those who would judge and control

[00:59.99] But we have a chance to make it right (for you)

[01:08.11] This is what you'll do:

[01:20.87] Show them how you smile!

[01:24.84] It's only for a while

[01:29.34] Take what you need!

[01:31.84] Leave them to bleed!

[01:34.10] Let them know bitter

[01:36.33] While your revenge is sweet!

[01:51.65] Keep the secret

[01:54.68] Pretending you're just like them

[01:58.90] Live there like a princess

[02:02.68] In the kingdom of selfish men

[02:07.14] Play their game, now

[02:11.43] Do what it takes to win

[02:15.64] Steal it back, all they keep from you

[02:19.67] They refuse to look beyond your skin

[02:23.89] And as you grow

[02:28.15] You'll gain from their knowledge

[02:30.17] But your heart will know

[02:32.15] When the time is right to end the lie

[02:37.40] (You'll know what to do)

[02:39.89] When the charade is through

[02:44.64] Show them how you smile!

[02:48.90] It's only for a while

[02:53.18] Take what you need!

[02:55.14] Leave them to bleed!

[02:57.40] Let them know bitter

[02:58.92] While your revenge is sweet!

[03:02.89] You might think that, maybe, they're changing

[03:06.69] You pray that their hatred is waning

[03:10.39] That's when it hurts most to find

[03:14.16] The story unfolds

[03:15.40] And the cruelties, exposed

[03:17.90] You'll be glad you're not their kind

[03:39.38] Show them how you smile!

[03:43.15] It's only for a while

[03:47.43] Take what you need!

[03:49.41] Leave them to bleed!

[03:51.65] Let them know bitter

[03:53.15] While your revenge is sweet!
