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
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
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
interlude
now every day ain’t gon’ be perfect
but it still don’t mean today don’t have purpose
come on
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 tell me where are my blue skies
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
holy ghost power y’all
fell from heaven like a shower
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
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
post

oh oh oh you look so much better when you
always remember
you look so much better when you smile
