“Smile” is an inspirational song Clara Benin wrote for her sister.
We all have that person in our lives – or people in our lives– that we see so much ‘light’ in them, that we want to keep them to ourselves but at the same time we want them to go out there in the world and spread their [‘light’ to o...
I didn't know any better
I was four years old
Just learning how to pray
But right before the end of 1998 you came
Yes we saw you coming
But nothing prepared us
For what came next
You brought a different light into our lives
Oh you were something else
Oh and I won't let them steal your light
So powerful and pure and bright
You can fight off the darkness with just one smile
With just one smile
I didn't know any better
I was fifteen years old
I've forgotten how to pray
Glow in the dark stars
And classical guitars kept us sane
Yes, I am the quiet one
I've always kept it in
Yeah I've always been afraid
While I stayed in the shade
You were out dancing in the rain
You were always brave
Oh and I won't let them steal your light
So powerful and pure and bright
I lose all my worries when I see your smile
When I see your smile
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
I still don't know any better
As I should by now
I'm still learning how to pray
But you were always there
You watch me fall
You watch me break
You always stay
Oh and I won't let them steal your light
So powerful and pure and bright
I swear there's something about your smile
Your smile
Don't let them keep you from smiling
Don't let them keep you from shining
Don't let them keep you from burning bright
Keep it bright
Keep the fire alive
Keep it bright
Let it burn inside
Keep it bright
Keep it bright
Keep that smile
