"Smile" lyrics

"Smile"

Miss those days, my yesteryears
Filled with pride, packed with fear
I was pushing forward, liked to do make-believe
Walked like a saint, ran with a band of thieves

I was looking up (looking up)
While feeling down (down)
I searched in all directions
For a universal smile
I was looking up (looking up)
While feeling down (down)
Then I heard your heartbeat, baby
And I saw your precious smile
Oh, Lord

All the stars I stared upon
Said, "God is great, but you're on your own"
Living life in color, practicing in black and white
Comforting my creatures, Jesus hanging by my side

I was looking up (looking up)
While feeling down (down)
I searched in all directions
For a universal smile
I was looking up (looking up)
While feeling down (down)
Then I heard your heartbeat, baby
And I saw your precious smile

I was looking up (looking up)
While feeling down (down)
Yeah, I searched in all directions
For a universal smile
I was looking up (looking up)
While feeling down (down)
Then I heard your heartbeat, baby
And I saw your precious smile
Oh, Lord

I'm alive again (looking up)
I'm alive again (looking up)
I'm alive again (looking up)
I'm alive again (looking up)
Oh (looking up)
Oh (looking up)
Oh, that's sweet (looking up)
Oh, that's sweet (looking up)
Oh, that's sweet (looking up)
