Smile,
a simple smile...

How can this world continue to survive
with so much war, so much death and destruction...

I knew a girl once
all laughter and smiles...

Tears fall down soft, pure cheeks
small salty pearls flow down like rivers...

Hidden lives and secret dreams
each one of us bears...

Release your clutches from this troubled soul
undo your grip on my heart...

Can this soul be rid of this pain,
its eyes bleeding rivers of tears...
