Never in the world does hatred cease by hatred; hatred ceases by love. - Buddha


I may say I’m not afraid
I may act as if I’m okay
But inside I’m screaming out
And outside I’m holding it down
I know it’s not right how I fell
I need to be shown something real

So can you just smile for me
Show me what happiness means
Set me free put my pain at ease
Comfort me lend a shoulder please
Fill my dreams with hopes to be free
Of what holds me down

I pray with all my heart
And I pray for a new start
Outside I’m building up walls
But inside I want them to fall
I know the bricks from my past
drag behind me
And its hard to take that leap

So can you just smile for me
Show me hat happiness means
Set me free put my pain at ease
Comfort me lend a shoulder please
Fill my dreams with hopes to be free
Of what holds me down

And now I’m letting go
Of the hurt even I don’t know
What it will take to heal
But in time I’ll know what’s real

IF you just smile for me
Show me what happiness means
Set me free put my pain at ease
Comfort me lend me a shoulder please------

SMILE for me show me what happiness means
Set me free put my pain at ease
Comfort me lend a shoulder please
Fill my dreams with hopes to be free
Of what holds me down.
