‘Smile’ is a collaboration between the Italian duo Feng Shui and the singer/songwriter Iossa
The lyrics represent one of many motivational anthems that Iossa wrote to himself during a time of darkness in his life.
[Verse]
Don’t close your eyes
The world is yours
If you believe
You’re out of time
Open this door
Have faith in me
[Pre-Chorus]
Wake up, Get up, Stay up
Work your heart out
Can’t you hear me? (Can’t you hear me?)
And then begin to win another one
Can’t you hear me? (Can’t you hear me?)
[Chorus]
No, never back down
Face it just right now
Light up a candle
Smile
No, never back down
Face it just right now
Light up a candle
Smile
[Verse]
Don’t break your vows
When you can use your deepest fears
Dread can surround
And protect what’s yours
What you achieve
[Pre-Chorus]
Wake up, Get up, Stay up
Work your heart out
Can’t you hear me? (Can’t you hear me?)
And then begin to win another one
Can’t you hear me? (Can’t you hear me?)
[Chorus]
No, never back down
Face it just right now
Light up a candle
Smile
No, never back down
Face it just right now
Light up a candle
Smile
[Post-Chorus]
Can’t you hear me? Can’t you hear me? Can’t you hear me?
Smile
Can’t you hear me? Can’t you hear me? Can’t you hear me?
