Karaoké I Smile Kirk Franklin

I dedicate this song to recession

Depression and unemployment

This song's for you

Today's a new day but there is no sunshine

Nothing but clouds and it's dark in my heart and it feels like a cold night

Today's a new day but where are my blue skies

Where is the love and the joy that you promised me tell me it's alright

I'll be honest with you

I almost gave up but a power that

I can't explain

Fell from heaven like a shower, now

When I think how much better

I'm gonna be when this is over

I smile

Even though I'm hurt, see

I smile

I know God is working so I smile

Even though I've been here for a while

I smile

What you do

Smile

It's so hard to look up

Come on when you've been down

Sure would hate to see you give up now

You look so much better when you smile so smile

Now every day ain't gon' be perfect

But it still don't mean today don't have purpose

Today's a new day but there is no sunshine

Nothing but clouds and it's dark in my heart and it feels like a cold night

Today's a new day but tell me where are my blue skies

Where's the love yo

Where is the love and the joy that you promised me tell me it's alright

The truth is

I almost gave up but a power that

I can't explain

The holy god power ya

Fell from heaven like a shower, now

Now I know we've been hurt yall' but still

I smile

Even though I'm hurt, see

Come on

I smile

Yeah feel that

I know God is working so I smile

Even though I've been here for a while

I smile

Still

Hallelujah

Smile

It's so hard to look up when you've been down
