Lyrics

Lost your way, lost your cool
Then you straight up lost your mind
Tried so hard to stay ahead
But you keep falling behind

Life is gonna pull you down
Make it hard to see
But a little change in your point of view
Could be just what you need

There’s always a reason
To always choose joy
There’s something deeper
That the world can’t destroy

Smile, when you think you can’t
Smile, get up and dance
Smile, there’s a bigger plan
The storm only lasts for a while

So smile

Happiness is wonderful
But it doesn’t stick around
Walkin’ on sunshine
Then here come the clouds

You can laugh or you can cry
When it all falls apart
But I believe the more you laugh
The more you heal the heart

There’s always a reason
To always choose joy
There’s something deeper
That the world can’t destroy

Smile, when you think you can’t
Smile, get up and dance
Smile, there’s a bigger plan
And you’ve got a reason

Smile, when you think you can’t
Smile, just clap your hands
Smile, there’s a bigger plan
You’ve got a reason to smile

There’s always a reason
To always choose joy
There’s something deeper
That the world can’t destroy

Smile, when you think you can’t
Smile, get up and dance
Smile, there’s a bigger plan
And you’ve got a reason

Smile, when you think you can’t
Smile, just clap your hands
Smile, there’s a bigger plan
You’ve got a reason to smile

Get up on and smile

You’ve got a reason to smile

About This Song

There are amazing health benefits to simply smiling. Smiling will boost your immune system, relieves stress, lowers your blood pressure, makes you look younger, makes you look more successful, elevates our mood, helps you stay more positive, and it's contagious. Even a fake smile can move your brain into happiness! A smile can also make those around you curious about what you have that they don't.

Plus we, as Christians, have a ton to smile about. Even in the most difficult of seasons. (2 Corinthians 4:17) And although there are times when our circumstances can prevent our smile, this song will be a nice reminder that it won't always be that way. (see Ecclesiastes 3:4, Psalm 39:13, Luke 6:21, Revelation 21:4) I believe this song will become a favorite for our listeners as they find themselves singing along with a smile!
