[Chorus] [Verse 1] When your soul erodes, all that’s really left, is an empty shell, wedding bell memories, begin to shed, while you solemnly sit, on the edge of the bed, with your head held low, cold heart dropping down to the floor, shedding tidal wave size tears, taking shots back to back, and pounding beers nonstop, in attempts to numb the pain, raise your glass high, and give toast to the good years, for we all had our share, of good and bad moments, and need to take time out, to heal then rebuild, piece yourself back together, and when your feeling better, lift your head up high, don’t be scared to take a chance, to advance set some goals, lay the frame work, for future plans, know it’s kinda hard to understand, cause you used to be the man, take a little time to consider, that the heart is fallible, and when presented with, detrimental existential crisis, problems tend to emerge, causing a shift, where the heart and brain, aren’t on the same page, the mind might degrade, falling into retrograde, it’s simply just a phase, where you’re trapped within a dark place, mind over crowded, thoughts overshadowed by a mood, trust sending prayers up, can light a spark so true, place your faith in the father, and your heart can be renewed, God’s greatest gift to man kind, besides the gift of life, without a doubt is free will, been blessed with a voice and a choice, so you get to choose, exactly what you wanna do, but you’re guaranteed to lose, if we never try, gotta get up off the pine, put yourself back into the game, take another swing at life, this will decide, who you really are, for we all fall at times, but the thing is, you were made to shine so, get back up and rise [Prechorus] Created on purpose with a purpose, choose life, let your light shine, and brighten up the world, [Chorus] Smile, illuminate the darkness with a spark from your heart, let there be light, shine and breath life into the world [Verse 2] The stars have aligned, and it’s finally time, to push away that selfish pride, and learn to live again, understand this is not the end, pay close attention, when you count your cards, for we are more, than the hands we were dealt, gotta go all in, and bet big on yourself and God, find that treasure, buried deep within your heart, remember that his plans, are to prosper you, and it doesn’t matter, whether you were a pimp, or a prostitute, plus it doesn’t matter, how far you’ve fallen from his grace, just repent and be saved, you can be reborn new, and ordained, just call upon the the lord’s name, forever heaven reigns, trust God will break those chains, and take that weight up off your shoulders, soldier tip your head back to the sky, eliminate those tears, and put that liquor bottle down, realize you don’t need those booze, hope is there for you, if you choose, life over death, God over self, you’ll get a double you and rise [Prechorus] [Chorus]

Smile: Shine
