Arthur O'Donovan - Smile

We um gauge success based upon what we feel in our hearts
Music is a success upon creation
I've spent too many nights with tubes in my chest
18 year old who's lungs were put to the test
23 and scars are already deep
But it feels like borrowed time and the devil taunts me in my sleep
So I pour my heart and my soul
Into music I know
Because god told me to trust
He made a genius
It's my gift to make this world a brighter place
So that's why I hide my pain
and I continue to
Smile
You gotta smile
You gotta smile
And watch the whole world smile
Back at you
Smile
And watch the whole world smile
Back at you (back at you, back at you)
And watch the whole world smile (smile, smile)
Truth seems crazy in a world full of lies
So I switch to fluoride free
Still blurred but I'm starting to see
I've been curious about purpose and mind
Seeking knowledge and truth
Been my path from my youth
Some things in life they change, some things they stay the same
That's the way this world works, and we're not really to blame (blame blame)
Despite the fear and hate they're cramming down our throats (our throats)
There's so much good and hope
And that's why I'll continue to
Smile
You gotta smile
You gotta smile
And watch the whole world smile
Back at you
Smile
Oh you gotta smile (you gotta smile you gotta smile)
You gotta smile (keep that chin up)
And watch the whole world smile
Back at you
Locked in a dream losing senses of reality (back at you)
But what's reality if love isn't the centrepiece (back at you)
My art's my baby bleeding from my hearts emotions (back at you)
That's where our souls breathe in these technological oceans
Locked in a dream losing senses of reality (back at you)
But what's reality if love isn't the centrepiece (back at you)
My art's my baby bleeding from my hearts emotions (back at you)
That's where our souls breathe in these technological oceans
Success upon creation
