Kirk Franklin - smile lyrics

I dedicate this song to recession, Depression and unemployment This song's for you 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, where are my blue skies Where is the love and the joy that you promised me Tell me it's alright (I'll be honest with you) I almost gave up, but a power that I can't explain Fell from heaven like a shower (When I think how much better I'm gonna be when this is over) 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 been down Sure would hate to see you give up now You look so much better when you smile, so smile 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, tell me where are my blue skies Where is the love and the joy that you promised me Tell me it's alright (The truth is) 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 been down Sure would hate to see you give up now You look so much better when you smile Smile for me Can you just smile for me Smile for me Can you just smile for me Oh oh oh you look so much better when you Oh oh oh you look so much better when you Oh oh oh you look so much better when you Oh oh oh you look so much better when you Oh oh oh you look so much better when you (And while your waiting) Oh oh oh you look so much better when you (And while your praying) Oh oh oh you look so much better when you (Look in the mirror) Oh oh oh you look so much better when you (Always remember) You look so much better when you smile, come on 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 been down Sure would hate to see you give up now You look so much better when you smile, so smile Oh oh oh you look so much better when you Oh oh oh you look so much better when you Oh oh oh you look so much better when you Oh oh oh you look so much better when you Oh oh oh you look so much better when you Oh oh oh you look so much better when you Oh oh oh you look so much better when you Oh oh oh you look so much better when you Smile See I just want don't you to be happy 'Cause then you have to have something you haven't been I want you to have joy 'cause can't nobody Take that away from you I see you smile
