Here's a picture she painted
All the colours of the rainbow
But the picture has faded
And there's nothing left to show
But dusty roads
And men with guns who say move on
Living in fear the end is near
When life had only just begun
No way out
No ups just down sides to everything
And then she smiles
The innocence of a child
Oh little one
Everything will be all right when you smile
Oh little one
Everything will be all right when you smile
So just smile
Smile and the world smiles with you
Hold up your lighters
Send a little light through to those who
Sit and pray for a silver linin'
Wanna erase the pain but they can't rewind it
In time you'll find there's a brighter day
Yeah the sun will soon come
Chase the clouds away
If we change today
This life we've been given
Will light up the world that we live in
And you can light it up
You can light it up
You can light the world with your smile
And you can light it up
You can light it up
You can light the world with your smile
And you can light it up
You can light it up
You can light the world with your smile
And you can light it up
You can light it up
You can light the world with your smile
Here's a toy that he played with
But it's broken in to pieces
What's a mother to do when
She can't afford to fix it
She's tired
Losing her patience
Getting frustrated
How can she make it through when
There's no way out
No ups just down sides to everything
And then he smiles
The innocence of a child
Oh little one
Everything will be all right when you smile
Oh little one
Everything will be all right when you smile
So just smile
Smile and the world smiles with you
Hold up your lighters
Send a little light through to those who
Sit and pray for a silver linin'
Wanna erase the pain but they can't rewind it
In time you'll find there's a brighter day
Yeah the sun will soon come
Chase the clouds away
If we change today
This life we've been given
Will light up the world that we live in
And you can light it up
You can light it up
You can light the world with your smile
And you can light it up
You can light it up
You can light the world with your smile
And you can light it up
You can light it up
You can light the world with your smile
And you can light it up
You can light it up
You can light the world with your smile
No way out
No ups just down sides to everything
And then you smile
The innocence of a child
And then you smile
You can light it up
You can light it up
You can light the world with your smile
The innocence of a child
You can light it up
You can light it up
You can light the world with your smile
And then you smile
You can light it up
You can light it up
You can light the world with your smile
The innocence of a child
You can light it up
You can light it up
You can light the world with your smile
And then you smile
You can light it up
You can light it up
You can light the world with your smile
The innocence of a child
Oh little one
Everything will be all right when you smile
Oh little one
Everything will be all right when you smile
So just smile
