Smile Again
Kirk Franklin's song 'Smile Again' offers comfort to those feeling lonely, abandoned, or hopeless. It acknowledges the pain of isolation and the feeling that no one cares, but encourages listeners not to worry because storms are temporary. The song points to Jesus as a man from glory full of mercy and grace who lifts up, holds hands, and eases pain, enabling a person to smile again. It repeatedly urges to keep your head up and smile, reinforcing a message of hope and restoration. The lyrics directly address a brother, but the encouragement is universal for anyone facing despair.
Tell me how you feel when you're all alone no one to say I love you and you feel all your hope is gone
Try to call your best friend. But he's not there, so you wind up feeling empty like no one cares
My brother don't you worry storms don't last always
There's a man from glory full of mercy and grace
He'll pick you up he'll hold your hand he'll ease your pain
so you can smile again good God Almighty
Tell me how you feel when you're all alone
No one to say I love you and you feel all your hope is gone
Try to call your best friend but he's not there
So you wind up feeling empty like no one cares
My brother don't you worry storms don't last always
There's a man from glory full of mercy and grace
Keep your head up smile again
keep your head up smile again
