I am going to smile.
We all carry these things inside that no one else can see,
They hold us down like anchors and drown us at sea.
But you don’t know how strong you are,
Until being strong is your only choice.
You need to learn from yesterday,
Live for today and hope for tomorrow.
You only have one life to live,
So live it right.
Life is a ticket to the greatest show on earth,
Three words some it up,
It goes on.
But even though it might kill me,
I am going to smile.
