Smile
She stands in front of mirror to get ready for the day
She wants to change herself in every way
Make-up to cover up the spots
A mini dress with polka dots
Acceptance is the hardest price to pay
He has sport posters all over his wall
They have muscles while he has none at all
Staying up late to work out
But there is still the doubt
That he will not make the team in the fall
You got to keep moving on
You got to stay strong
Even when you feel like breaking down
You got to keep your head high
You got reach for the sky
Just smile and you'll feel better now
They sit in the back of the room
Whispering cruel things about you
You try to ignore your name
Because it just follows with pain
Wishing that you forever be see through
Waiting in the check-out line
Reading magazines to pass the time
Envying the beautiful girls
Wishing you had their worlds
A life that is nothing but genuine
You got to keep moving on
You got to stay strong
Even when you feel like breaking down
You got to keep your head high
You got reach for the sky
Just smile and you'll feel better now
We were made to be told apart
Because we all have different hearts
And no one has the right to break them
You should be comfortable in your own skin
You are a beautiful work of art
You got to keep moving on
You got to stay strong
Even when you feel like breaking down
You got to keep your head high
You got reach for the sky
Just smile and you'll feel better now
Smile when you feel down
And you will feel better now
