Smile

Ten lives held inside one silence. Every step through fire and pain. Tears are hidden far beneath us. Salt still burns on every wound that remains. Someone stayed awake to save a child. Someone watched their loved ones go. Still the heart kept breathing hope, When the whole world told it no. Smile, 'cause your smile is the medicine. Your salvation, Your strength to begin. It's a badge of honor, For the scars you've earned. For surviving, for the woman you've Become. Mm. No amount of makeup hides the traces. You can't run from the hurt of before. But we'll tell these wiser eyes, There is so much light still in store. When it's hard to make it to the ending, When the wind throws you into the night. We will lift our faces smiling, Stand against it, walk into the light. Smile, 'cause your smile is the medicine. Your salvation, Your strength to begin. It's a badge of honor, For the scars you've earned. For surviving, for the woman you've Become. Your Bright and rarest kind of joy Is the monument that matters most. Leave this world a little more beautiful. Let hope live everywhere You go. Smile, 'cause your smile is the medicine. Your salvation, your strength to begin. It's a badge of honor, For the scars you've earned. For surviving, for the woman you've Become.
