Smile & Shine

(album: Paradise And Back Again - 2014)

People will always talk behind your back, no matter what
But I'm telling you, it says nothing about you,
It says more about their lack of emotional and intelligence
And I know life isn't always fair, but so what?
You just need to get back up,
and dust off your shoes and try again, and maybe again.

Yeah, if you're being uptight
Got nothing to relate to,
I, I'm telling you that in time things will just go away
And I will show you sunshine, and how to appreciate life
Yeah, I will remember you to be strong everyday!

Leave it alone, better hold on tight
Be who you are, get back up and try
When they make you feel that you don't belong,
No matter what, stay strong!

Gotta keep your head up high
Don't give into people's lies
No, just shine (just shine!)
Soon there'll be a brighter day,
Come and chase those clouds away
Just smile, just smile pretty baby!

We talk our hearts been bright,
They'll make you fight a good fight
The sun don't always shine for you everyday
Just lead the way, don't be shy
and lift your head up way high,
Even when feel you lose your faith along the way

Leave it alone, better hold on tight,
Be who you are, get back up and try
When they make you feel that you don't belong,
No matter what, stay strong!

Gotta keep your head up high
Don't give into people's lies
No, just shine (just shine)
Soon there'll be a brighter day,
Come and chase those clouds away, yeah
Just smile, I'm telling you to always smile my love

Don't let anyone else tell you what is right,
Don't let anyone else, no anyone tell you what is right
God will applaud you for it,
Can I hear a ye-yeeeah,
Can I hear a ye-yeeeah?
