stand tall,
stand tall,
tell the world
tell the world
this awful awful world
that it's going to be alright
that it's not just a child
dreaming his dream
of a perfect perfect world
because it doesn't have to be perfect
but it can still be
beautiful.
it's easy to sink
but it's harder,
the struggle
to stay afloat
and keep your head above
the abyss
isn't it?
that's what we decided
all those years ago
we decided
that's why,
that's why
always smile,
smile.
no matter what the world says
no matter what the world throws at us
no matter what people think
no matter
if they call you silly
if they call you naive
if they say 'you can't survive'
if they say 'what's the point of being happy
when you don't have anything else'
whatever they say
remember.
only this.
there's nothing wrong with being yourself
and smiling,
even as the world says
you should be crying.
there are just times when people
question your most fundamental beliefs
but what matters is
how you pick youself up after that
and tell them
hey, i'm okay
