Smile
Hungry belly baby goes to bed at night
Mama she can't feed that child and I can feel her plight
Hungry belly father goes to work all day
In the burning sun and when he's done
He's earned less than minimal pay
But he tries so hard
In they come with tanks and guns from the west
To test his strong faith
And she cried so hard
She’s gotta flee misery
She's been renamed refugee
Who's easing the pain who's taking the blame
Who's easing the pain right now


Smile a while let's gift, dance and be happy true and strong
Words can’t overcome alone
Let's smile a while let's gift, dance be happy true and strong
Words can't overcome alone

Huge man walking on the street with a gun in his waist
He doesn't think too smart so he just acts in haste
Momma she a cry through the night and day
Her baby boy she born and grew
His life just stolen away
And she cries so hard
This baby boy who's full of joy
His life no more and she's been destroyed
And she tried so hard
In they come illegal guns
Taking lives of people, it's not nice
Now who's gonna ease the pain
Who's taking the blame
Who's easin the pain right now
Smile a while let's gift, dance and be happy true and strong
Words can’t overcome alone
Let's smile a while let's gift, dance be happy true and strong
Words can't overcome alone

Big man pushin’ a pen
Election time gets his vote and then
That's when he'll turn his back
Let the crack, the guns and knives
Come in and destroy lives
Children of the future he says
Why let the future be shut away
Children of the future you’ll say
Why let the future be starved away
Now, put down the knives and guns
Your lives have just begun
Put down the knives and guns
And who knows who you can become
And may  the hungry people be fed
Let them hunger for righteousness instead
Hungry people be fed
Let them hunger for righteousness instead
Now who's gonna ease the pain
Who's takin the blame
Who's easin the pain
Right now
Smile a while let's gift, dance and be happy true and strong
Words can’t overcome alone
Let's smile a while let's gift, dance be happy true and strong
Words can't overcome alone

This little light of mine
I'm gonna let it shine
The little spark that's in you
Let it become a big flame too
Now this little light of mine
How I'm gonna let it shine
The little spark that's in you
Let it become a big flame too

Now smile if only for a while
Let's skip dance and be happy
True and strong, words can’t overcome alone
Now smile a while, let's skip dance
And be happy true and strong
Word can’t counter it alone
