I Smile sing and play along

Today's a new day,

but there is no sunshine.

Nothing but clouds, and it's dark in my heart,

and it feels like a cold night.

Today's a new day,

but where are my blue skies?

Where is the love and the joy that You promised me?

Tell me it's all right.

I almost gave up, but a power that I can't explain

fell from heaven like a shower,

now. I smile.

Even though I hurt, see, I smile.

I know God is working, so I smile.

Even though I've been here for a while,

I smile.

Smile. It's so hard to look up when you've been down.

Sure would hate to see you give up now.

You look so much better when you smile,

so smile.
