Smiles

Smile, why aren't you smiling?

Everyone has to smile

Those lips are the ones that show it all

Those lips are the ones that tell it all

The best thing to do is smile

That's usually the case for optimism

Can't you see a smile falls into racism

What happened to the strive for equality?

Even though people are different

Don't we want diversity

Accepting them for who they are

Every smile is different

Every lip is different

Can't we say we are in the land of the free

Even though there isn't a smile from sea to sea

What we call joy those lips’ end

Reach for the sky

What we call sad those lips end

Reach for the depths of hell

Why do we put a name on the

Movements of our lips?

Aren't we discriminating the lip by putting names

Every lip should be treated equally

No matter where the lips point

That should be called a smile

Even if we consider being silent

A devil’s smile, it's a smile

Sadness is a smile

Anger is a smile

Joy is a smile

Now you're asking me why

Why don't I have smile

I am smiling can't you see

I will always be smiling

But smiling in a different way
