Smile, breathe in the world      When it's all in a song   And I am safe again   Oh, I'd rather take a pen that to stress again   When it's all in a song   And I am safe again   Oh, I'd rather write the words   Than to flex my pain      I will happily smile   As I breathe in the world   As I carry on the life, the life I have left   And I like to smile   As I take in the breath   Oh, I'd rather sing instead of the things I dread      When it's all in a song   And I know it's all there   Oh, I'm crystallizing at my center, yeah   And my heart colors the air   Oh, I'd rather say a prayer   A silent prayer of gratitude, and I      I will happily smile   As I breathe in the world   As I carry on the life, the life I have left   And I like to smile   As I take in the breath   Oh, I'd rather sing instead of the things I dread      Yeah, you know I'll happily smile   I'll happily smile   A silent prayer of gratitude, and I   A silent prayer of gratitude, and I      I'll happily smile
