KIRK FRANKLIN – I SMILE
I dedicate this song to recessionDepression and unemploymentThis song’s for you
Today’s a new day, but there is no sunshineNothing but clouds, and it’s dark in my heartAnd it feels like a cold nightToday’s a new day, where are my blue skiesWhere is the love and the joy that you promised meTell me it’s alright
I almost gave up, but a power that I can’t explainFell from heaven like a shower
I smile, even though I hurt see I smileI know God is working so I smileEven though I’ve been here for a whileI smile, smileIt’s so hard to look up when you been downSure would hate to see you give up nowYou look so much better when you smile, so smile
Today’s a new day, but there is no sunshineNothing but clouds and it’s dark in my heartAnd it feels like a cold nightToday’s a new day, tell me where are my blue skiesWhere is the love and the joy that you promised meTell me it’s alright
