Don't stop smiling Don't stop smiling That light reminds us all we have to keep on shining Keep on shining Keep on shining Open up your eyes there's no need to be frightened Don't nobody tell me * can't swim (don't tell me fish can't swim) Sometimes I wonder whether could I be A monkey if I only had hands on my feet If we could find the right brush do you Suppose we could paint some of our gray skies blue? I wonder 'Greta if I try hard enough will I ever be brave like you It's hard singing not knowing, so I say we're gonna find out later Meanwhile we just keep on going but I'm going to have to ask one favor Don't stop smiling Don't stop smiling That light reminds us all we have to keep on shining Keep on shining Keep on shining Open up your eyes there's no need to be frightened Could we make songs out of life like we make grapes into wine Tell me 'Greta will I turn out patient if I learn how to take my time Sometimes our suffering is just the Horizon, a wound to make space for the light Can we make medicine out of sweet music and celebrate being alive Don't stop smiling Don't stop smiling That light reminds us all we have to keep on shining Keep on shining Keep on shining Open up your eyes there's no need to be frightened
