Smile So Much

I prayed for calmer waters, God gave me taller waves

I didn't understand it 'til I wound up findin' strength

I kicked rocks at the bottom like tin cans on the street

You name it, man, I fought and learned to turn the other cheek

With all the hell thrown at me

Lot of people ask me

"How are you so happy?"

If you'd seen all the tears I cried

You would know why I smile so much

Fought the hate I fight

You would know why I try to love

Even when it's hard

Even when it feels like fallin' apart

If you'd seen all the tears I cried

You would know why I smile so much

Smile so much

You would know why I smile so much

I've filled my mind with struggles, I've watched my brothers bleed

I've had nights that I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy

When you make it out the shadows, you wanna be a light

Every day's a blessin' when you shouldn't be alive

With all the hell thrown at me

Lot of people ask me

"How are you so happy?"

If you'd seen all the tears I cried

You would know why I smile so much

Fought the hate I fight

You would know why I try to love

Even when it's hard

Even when it feels like fallin' apart

If you'd seen all the tears I cried

You would know why I smile so much

Smile so much

If you'd seen all the tears I cried

You would know why I smile so much

Fought the hate I fight

You would know why I try to love (ooh, try to love)

Even when it's hard

Even when it feels like fallin' apart

If you'd seen all the tears I cried

You would know why I smile so much

Smile so much

You would know why I smile so much
