Every day I walk out in this torn up world
|
And I fight to survive
|
I'm laughing when I make it to the Saturday
|
And I'm alive
|
Carrying your smile with me
|
Carrying your smile with me
|
|
Everywhere I look I see this world slippin' down
|
That low road, day by day
|
And I just go on working for the things I need
|
And making my own way
|
Carrying your smile with me, oh yea
|
Carrying your smile with me
|
|
Take a walk on the troubled side of this old town
|
Take a walk on the broken streets and the buildings falling down
|
Look at all these kids with nothing but trouble in their eyes
|
Trouble in their future, trouble in their lives
|
|
Some bridges are falling down
|
Some bridges are still around
|
|
Take a walk on the shaded uptown avenue
|
Some people are doing well no matter how they do
|
And I know there's more to life than what you own
|
But I see so many good things, things I've never known
|
|
Some bridges are falling down
|
Some bridges are still around
|
|
Every night I listen to the sound of the street
|
Lying in my bed
|
I love to see the dreams that are dancing there
|
In the light above your head
|
And sometimes I get so weary
|
And when hope is caving in
|
You fill me with your love and your laughter, baby
|
Until I get back up again
|
|
Carrying your smile with me
|
(Take a walk on the streets of this divided town)
|
Carrying your smile with me
|
(Take a walk on the smoking edge of the battleground)
|
Carrying your smile with me
|
(Take a look at the situation, the poverty and the desperation)
|
(Take the time for the realization)
|
Everyday I'm carrying your smile with me
|
(Take a walk in the daylight)
|
Carrying your smile with me
|
(Some bridges are falling down)
|
Carrying your smile with me
|
(Some bridges are still around)
