[Chorus: ELMAH]

Smile for me, don't be— don't be sad

I can see it in your countenance, in your countenance

Smile for me, don't be— don't be sad

I can see it in your countenance, there's something on your mind

[Verse 1: ELMAH]

Am I wrong?

'Cause I stand for what I believe, am I wrong?

Said it exactly as it is

They thought I was abusing it

They thought that I was losing it, am I wrong?

I know how you feel, I know what you need

I could be the shoulder you can cry on, am I wrong?

Me, I'll never let them take away my peace

I want you to know you're not alone, you're with me

[Chorus: ELMAH]

Smile for me, don't be— don't bе sad

I can see it in your countenance, in your countenancе

Smile for me, don't be— don't be sad

I can see it in your countenance, there's something on your mind

[Verse 2: Omah Lay]

All I want (All I)

Feel good inside

All I want by any means

Unhappiness is hurting me (Ah)

I can't feel my shoulders anymore (Ah)

Is it 'cause I carry all the load?

So I go on tour around the world

Looking for where I might belong

Every day smiling, nicely, highest vibration

[Chorus: ELMAH, Omah Lay]

Smile for me, don't be— don't be sad

I can see it in your countenance, in your countenance

Smile for me, don't be— don't be sad

I can see it in your countenance (My pillow), there's something on your mind (My pillow)
