Smile

(الألبوم: RWBY, Vol. 5 - 2018)

[Jeff Williams:]
Child, our daughter
Sit while we talk awhile
You've done no misdeed
Still, they'll put your life on trial
Born like your family
Far from any state of grace
You're as perfect as the wind and sky
But they'll treat you like you're out of place

[Casey Lee Wiliams:]
This world is cold
The power's with those who would judge and control
But we have a chance to make it right (for you)
This is what you'll do:

Show them how you smile!
It's only for a while
Take what you need!
Leave them to bleed!
Let them know bitter
While your revenge is sweet!

Keep the secret
Pretending you're just like them
Live there like a princess
In the kingdom of selfish men
Play their game, now
Do what it takes to win
Steal it back, all they keep from you
They refuse to look beyond your skin

[Jeff Williams:]
And as you grow
You'll gain from their knowledge
But your heart will know
When the time is right to end the lie
(You'll know what to do)
When the charade is through

[Casey Lee Williams:]
Show them how you smile!
It's only for a while
Take what you need!
Leave them to bleed!
Let them know bitter
While your revenge is sweet!

[Jeff Williams:]
You might think that, maybe, they're changing
You pray that their hatred is waning
That's when it hurts most to find
The story unfolds
And the cruelties, exposed
You'll be glad you're not their kind

[Casey Lee Williams:]
Show them how you smile!
It's only for a while
Take what you need!
Leave them to bleed!
Let them know bitter
While your revenge is sweet!
