[Intro] 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, but where are my blue skies Where is the love and the joy that you promised me? Tell me it's alright (I'll be honest with you) [Pre-Chorus] I almost gave up, but a power that I can't explain Fell from heaven like a shower (When I think how much better I'm gonna be when this is over) I smile, even though I'm 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, so smile

I Smile
