i smile :)

"Today's a new day, but there is no sunshine.

Nothing but clouds, and it's dark in my heart,

and it feels like a cold night.

Today's a new day, but tell me where are my blue skies,

where is the love and the joy that You promised me

You tell me it's alright.

 

(The truth is)

I almost gave up, but a power that I can't explain (the Holy Ghost power, yo)

fell from heaven like a shower now.

I smile, even though I hurt, see I smile,

I know God is working so I smile,

Even though I've been here for awhile,

I smile, smile..

it's so hard to look up when you've been down.

Sure would hate to see you give up now

You look so much better when you smile"

-- Kirk Franklin, "I Smile"
