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 its dark in my heart
And it feels like a cold night
Today's a new day, where are my blue skies
Where is the love and the joy that you promised me
You 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 hurt see I smile
I know God is working so I smile
Even though I've been here for a while (what you do?)
I smile, smile..
It's so hard to look up 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 everyday ain't gonna 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
(It ain't easy but)
Today's a new day, but tell me where are my blue skies
(Where's that love, ya'll?)
Where is the love and the joy that you promised me
You tell me it's alright
(The truth is)
I almost gave up, but a power that I can't explain
(The holy ghost power, ya'll)
Fell from heaven like a shower now
(Now I know we've been hurt, ya'll... But still)
I smile, even though I hurt see I smile
I know God is working so I smile
Even though I've been here for a while
I smile, smile..
It's so hard to look up when you've been down
Sure would hate to see you give up now
You look so much better when you smile
(Let's go)
Smile.. for me
Can you just smile... for me
(Whatever you're in right now)
Smile.. for me
Can you just smile... for me
(And my people say)
ohohoh you look so much better when you
ohohoh you look so much better when you
ohohoh you look so much better when you
ohohoh you look so much better when you
ohohoh you look so much better when you
(and while your waiting)
ohohoh you look so much better when you
(and while your praying)
ohohoh you look so much better when you
(look in the mirror)
ohohoh you look so much better when you
(always remember)
You look so much better when you smile
I almost gave up, but a power that I can't explain
(But the holy ghost power, ya'll)
Fell from heaven like a shower now
(Handships difficulties)
Right now
(Tears, this what I do)
I smile, even though I hurt see I smile
I know God is working so I smile
Even though I've been here for a while
I smile, smile..
It's so hard to look up when you've been down
Sure would hate to see you give up now
You look so much better when you smile
So smile
ohohoh (Dallas) you look so much better when you
ohohoh (New Orleans) you look so much better when you
ohohoh (Cleveland) you look so much better when you
ohohoh (Detroit) you look so much better when you
ohohoh (Philly) you look so much better when you
ohohoh (Jersey) you look so much better when you
ohohoh (L.A) you look so much better when you
ohohoh (All my people say) you look so much better when you
Smile...
See I just don't want ya to be happy
Cuz you gotta have something happening
I want you to have joy
Cuz can't nobody take that from you
