That one day, when I was still quite young,
I woke up from an uneasy sleep.
And wondered: Does life make a sense?
[Whisper:] Maybe.
Since then my life's song is sung
with thoughts that are - oh - so very deep,
but not worth even a two-pence.
[Whisper:] Or three.
Life moves so fast, I wished there could be
a bit more contrast, so that I can see.
I sob, I cry, I mope in style.
But once in a while, I choose to smile.
My life does not go like planned.
No dough, no job, no boat, no hope.
And only rainclouds in the sky.
[Whisper:] Or sunshine.
I wished someone takes my hand.
Gives me perspective, gives me scope.
I get my strength from I'n'I.
[Whisper:] What about you?
Life is such a hurry, I wished there could be
a bit less flurry, so I would be free.
I sob, I cry, I mope in style.
But once in a while, I choose to smile.
You there in front of the speaker.
Are you now a bit confused?
Is this a sad or happy song?
[Whisper:] It's both.
Are you not also just a seeker,
who wants to be a bit amused?
Don't know. I could be right or wrong.
[Whisper:] And that's that.
Life is so stressed, I wished there could be
a lot more jest, so I'd cheer with glee.
I hum, I sigh, I sing in style.
And all the while, I choose to smile.
Dub Rogue:
My dear listener, this a song about smiling.
A smile goes a long way.
And when you had a really bad day,
you will feel much better if someone gives you a smile.
Smiling is like magic.
So be a good sport, and right after this song
give someone a smile to lighten up their day.
You create a positive feeling
which that person passes on to others,
until eventually everyone will smile.
