Smile.
Sometimes.
 I think of things.
 As things turn into other things.
 and I'll write, or I'll sing along.
 When everything feels wrong.
 
 But then I think,
 Of a smile that makes me sink.
 To the depths that surpasses Atlantis.
 THinking that nothing can surpass this.
 
 So, Smile.
 Smile and I won't think for a while. 
 Don't just smile for me.
 Smile for the sea.
 Smile to be.
 A lighthouse for all who'll see.
 'Cause sometimes stars need to find their way home,
 So make a wish tonight.
 
 I know things are getting pushed to the brink.
 The smoke clouds your mind, It's hard to think.
 I know how easy it is to sink.
 Feeling like everything's pulling you in.
 Thinking you'll never win.
 
 But, Just smile.
 Smile so I won't think for a while. 
 Don't just smile for me.
 Smile for the sea.
 Smile to be.
 A lighthouse for all who'll see.
 'Cause sometimes stars need to find their way home,
 So make a wish tonight.
 
 Breathe.
 Breathe in and sigh.
 Things aren't going alright.
 I know, I know.
 That try as you might.
 You just lose sight.
 That future.
 Those moments.
 Those things you hold in, your hand.
 
 Smile.
 So I won't think for a while.
 You don't have to smile for me.
 Smile for all to see.
 That you are beyond all that you're meant to be.
