Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The only thing that you could ever do is what you do
The only person you should ever try to be is you
This life is crazy
This life is crazy
Oh yeah
[Verse 2]
And don't you know you're never gonna know what's coming next
So take a second, take a breath, and then just give your best
This life is crazy
Oh, this life is crazy
So smile
[Chorus]
All you gotta do is smile
Even when there's nothin' left to say
Go and smile
Don't you worry, it'll be okay
'Cause life is what you make it
Keep your head up, go and face it
With a smile
With a smile
[Verse 3]
I know you feeling like you never have a way to make it different now
But it don't take too much
Forget your troubles, all your worries, all your problems
All you ever need is love
Life could be better
Life could be better
With a smile
Just go ahead and
[Chorus]
Smile
Even when there's nothin' left to say
Go and smile
Don't you worry, it'll be okay
Life is what you make it
Keep your head up, go and face it
With a smile
With a smile
[Chorus]
Oh smile
In every single moment you're awake
Go and smile
With every single breath you get to take
'Cause this life is what you make it
Don't keep waitin', go and change it
With a smile
Go and smile
[Bridge]
Raise your hands, raise 'em up
Fill your lungs and laugh out loud
Till it hurts, till you cry
It's such a beautiful sound
Pass it on, pass it around
Let the happiness run wild
'Cause this life is what you make it, keep your head up
Go and change it with a smile
[Chorus]
Smile
Even when there's nothin' left to say
Go and smile
Don't you worry, it'll be okay
It'll be okay
Life is what you make it
Life is what you make it
Keep your head up, go and face it
With a smile
With a smile
[Chorus]
Oh smile
In every single moment you're awake
Go and smile
Go and smile
Every single breath you get to take
'Cause this life is what you make it
Don't keep waitin', go and change it
With a smile
Go and smile
Go ahead and smile
