The Smile

We always have the right
To doubt,
To disappoint
Those who remained behind,
And to lower the arms
That you lifted 100 times
Even after it’s been a long time.
 
We always have the right
To cry
Some nights,
Kept in secret -
When life is not
What you dreamed it would be like.
Even after it’s been a long time.
Even before
Seeing…
 
[Refrain] :
I smile
Without knowing where it will lead
Or if it can comfort,
So that it returns back to me.
I smile
And suddenly, we have the same expression.
The time to try
And everything is worth the effort.
 
We always have the right
To fall,
To sit down,
Without getting up,
And tell ourselves why
Once more a fight
Even after it’s been a long time
Even before
Think about it…
 
[Refrain] :
I smile
Without knowing where it will lead
If it can comfort
So that it returns back to me.
I smile
And suddenly, we have the same expression.
The time to try
And everything is worth the effort.
 
To smile
And the Earth becomes Eden
A time to forget
If it’s worth the effort
It’s worth the effort…
 
[Refrain] :
I smile
Without knowing where it will lead
If it can comfort
So that it returns back to me.
I smile
And suddenly, we have the same expression.
The time to try
And everything is worth the effort.
 
To smile
And the Earth becomes Eden.
