| Every day I walk out in this torn up world
|
| And I fight to survive
|
| I’m laughing when I make it to the Saturday
|
| And I’m alive
|
| Carrying your smile with me Carrying your smile with me Everywhere I look I see this world slippin' down
|
| That low road, day by day
|
| And I just go on working for the things I need
|
| And making my own way
|
| Carrying your smile with me, oh yea
|
| Carrying your smile with me Take a walk on the troubled side of this old town
|
| Take a walk on the broken streets and the buildings falling down
|
| Look at all these kids with nothing but trouble in their eyes
|
| Trouble in their future, trouble in their lives
|
| Some bridges are falling down
|
| Some bridges are still around
|
| Take a walk on the shaded uptown avenue
|
| Some people are doing well no matter how they do And I know there’s more to life than what you own
|
| But I see so many good things, things I’ve never known
|
| Some bridges are falling down
|
| Some bridges are still around
|
| Every night I listen to the sound of the street
|
| Lying in my bed
|
| I love to see the dreams that are dancing there
|
| In the light above your head
|
| And sometimes I get so weary
|
| And when hope is caving in You fill me with your love and your laughter, baby
|
| Until I get back up again
|
| Carrying your smile with me
|
| (Take a walk on the streets of this divided town)
|
| Carrying your smile with me
|
| (Take a walk on the smoking edge of the battleground)
|
| Carrying your smile with me
|
| (Take a look at the situation, the poverty and the desperation)
|
| (Take the time for the realization)
|
| Everyday I’m carrying your smile with me
|
| (Take a walk in the daylight)
|
| Carrying your smile with me
|
| (Some bridges are falling down)
|
| Carrying your smile with me
|
| (Some bridges are still around) |
