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,
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.
Pre-Chorus
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.
G * G *
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
Am * G * D *
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 Outro 2 smile with me.
Outro 2
Some bridges are falling down, carrying your smile with me.
Some bridges are falling down, carrying your smile with me.
Outro 3 (Repeat and Fade Out)
