Smile

If this song was in malay im sure it would be one of mom's favourites.Mom just loves songs.She said that it is the best remedy for her.When she is sad she'll hum a melody,when she's in a good mood she'll sing.I once sang with her "getaran jiwa".Just the two of us.

Well,this song is one of my favourites.I like it because of the lyrics.It is simple yet it can entertain me whenever im down.It's called "smile".During my teen years mom keep saying to me you have to smile a little bit in front of people.Or else they'll start to think u dont like them.Well u know i have a problem with that.Seriously.For one thing ive long realised that i have a face which is not made for smiles.Once early in the morning i was waiting for a bus to go to class.Then suddenly came a babushka(grandma) and greeted me.She said u r pretty but u have to smile(what has smiles got to do with being pretty?i dont get it!).U look so sad.Then i said to her im not sad.This is how i always look like,and flashed her a sweet smile.She was satisfied and went away.

U see old people always have a peaceful heart,nothing violent,nothing brutal,nothing opressive.They are just like those white roses early in the morning,u know the kind which has drops of dew on them.Calming.But i guess living in this world,in Russia specifically where people are arrogant,snobbish,harsh and always look down upon u,my face is perfect for it.........

Smile eventhough your heart is aching
Smile eventhough it's breaking
When there are clouds in the sky,u'll get by
If you smile through your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
U'll see the sun come shining through for u

Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear maybe ever so near
That's the time u must keep on trying
Smile,what's the use of crying
U'll find that life is still worthwhile
If u just smile

Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear maybe ever so near

That's the time u must keep on trying
Smile,what's the use of crying
U'll find that life is stil worht while if u just smile
