I dedicate this song to recession,
depression and unemployment.
This song's for you.
Today's a new day, but there is no sunshine.
Nothing but clouds, and it's dark in my heart
and it feels like a cold night.
Today's a new day, where are my blue skies,
where is the love and the joy that you promised me
you tell me it's alright.
I'll be honest with you
I almost gave up, but a power that I can't explain,
fell from heaven like a shower now.
When I think how much better I'm gonna be when this is over
I smile, even though I hurt see I smile,
I know God is working so I smile,
Even though I've been here for a while what you do?
I smile, smile..
it's so hard to look up when you've been down.
Sure would hate to see you give up now
You look so much better when you smile, so smile.
Today's a new day, but there is no sunshine.
Nothing but clouds, and it's dark in my heart,
and it feels like a cold night.
Today's a new day, but tell me where are my blue skies,
where is the love and the joy that you promised me
you tell me it's alright.
the truth is
I almost gave up, but a power that I can't explain the holy ghost power, yo
fell from heaven like a shower now.
I smile, even though I hurt see I smile,
I know God is working so I smile,
Even though I've been here for a while
I smile, smile..
it's so hard to look up when you've been down.
Sure would hate to see you give up now
You look so much better when you smile.
Smile.. for me
Can you just smile... for me.
Smile.. for me
Can you just smile... for me.

ohohoh you look so much better when you
ohohoh you look so much better when you
ohohoh you look so much better when you
ohohoh you look so much better when you
and while your waiting
ohohoh you look so much better when you
and while your praying
ohohoh you look so much better when you
look in the mirror
ohohoh you look so much better when you
always remember
You look so much better when you smile
I almost gave up, but a power that I can't explain but the holy ghost power, yo
fell from heaven like a shower now.
I smile, even though I hurt see I smile,
I know God is working so I smile,
Even though I've been here for a while
I smile, smile..
it's so hard to look up when you've been down.
Sure would hate to see you give up now.
You look so much better when you smile.

'cause can't nobody take that away from you.
