Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

Lost your way, lost your cool

Then you straight up lost your mind

Tried so hard to?stay?ahead

But you keep?falling behind

Life is gonna pull you?down

Make it hard to see

But a little change in your point of view

Could be just what you need


There's always a reason to always choose joy

There's something deeper 

That the world can't destroy

Smile, when you think you can't

Smile, get up and dance

Smile, there's a bigger plan

The storm only lasts for a while

So smile


Happiness is wonderful

But it doesn't stick around

Walkin' on sunshine

Then here come the clouds

You can laugh or you can cry

When it all falls apart

But I believe the more you laugh

The more you heal the heart


There's always a reason to always choose joy

There's something deeper That the world can't destroy

Smile, when you think you can't

Smile, get up and dance

Smile, there's a bigger plan

And you've got a reason

To smile, when you think you can't

Smile, just clap your hands

Smile, there's a bigger plan

You've got a reason to smile


There's always a reason to always choose joy

There's something deeper 

That the world can't destroy

Smile, when you think you can't

Smile, get up and dance

Smile, there's a bigger plan

You've got a reason

To smile, when you think you can't

Smile, just clap your hands

Smile, there's a bigger plan

You've got a reason to smile


You've got a reason to smile
