I was stranded on this šļøof despair A dire situationā¦š everywhere I looked out on the oceanā¦far as I could š It seemed like this time there was just no hope for meā¦ š¬
But then the situation changesā¦ Nothing stays the same, That when the situation changesā¦ Youāll never be the sameā¦ you wonāt be the same!
It seemed a āµļø had come just in the nick of āļø Despite my past uncertainty things had worked out fine š I laid out on the deck soaking in the āļø A coldš¹in my hand the good times had begun š
But then the situation changesā¦ Isnāt that a shame! That when the situation changesā¦ Look here comes the š§ļøā¦look here comes the āļø
It āļø for forty days and for forty nights If you think that Iām exaggeratingā¦youāre probably rightš However long it rainedā¦I was soaking š¦ Wondering why there werenāt any changes as of yet,
The day went on and on and still things stayed the same, The sky was cloudy and the forecast called for rain,āļø But you see itās times like these itās hardest to believe, It seems your life is over and youāve lost the faith to seeā¦
That if you just believe in G-d above, Things can only get better, And ooh, the worst things get, The better youāll feel when the bad times are over.
Though I made up this story itās not a fairy taleššÆļø And things will go right on changing whether you succeed šÆor fail So donāt be too sure what youāve got youāre gonna keep, Watch out for unsuspected changes and hold on to your receipt š§¾ (Chorus)
(Chorus) Put a little smile on your face ā¦ BāSIMCHAš And watch out the dayās gonna break ā¦ BāSIMCHAš Anytime, everyplace ā¦BāSIMCHAš Youāre lighting the sparks of the world! You just-a-keep-a-lighting the sparks of the world!
Well now some say a smile can melt a frozen heart, Oh it doesnāt take a sage to know itās time to start! So make itā¦ Sooner than later, Just your smile is all that it takes, It seems so simple sometimes, But sometimes we forgetā¦(That if you just-a)
(Chorus)
A kind word can find its way through the dark, Where the shadows of doubt hold up to tie you down, Weāll make itā¦ Sooner than later, Just your smile is all that it takes, Itās been such a long time cominā, Moshiach is on the way!!!ā¦(So why-why donāt youā¦)
(Chorus)
And if you fall down, downā¦Well get right back up!!) If you fall down, down, (And brush yourself off!!) If you fall down, down, down, Count up all the kindness that G-d does for you!!!
(Chorus)
So if youāre trapped in a prison of gloomāitās time to break out!!! For the Time of Redemption has comeāDonāt be left out!!! You can make itā¦ Sooner than later, Just your smile is all that it takes, Itās time to open our eyes, Moshiach is on the way!!!ā¦(Weāve just got toā¦)
