Lyrics: Smile
Music: Smile
The stadium lights go out like stars
I stand backstage with empty arms
The sound of cheers begins to rise
I feel the weight behind my eyes
I practiced every single line
For thousand nights I lost the time
The clock now ticks a different beat
My heart can't stay upon its feet
And now the tears fall like the rain
The loudest cheers drown out my pain
This moment breaks the chains of fear
I waited years to get right here
The crowd becomes a blur of lights
I see the ones who held my hand
Through every doubt through every fight
I finally touch the promised land
And now the tears fall like the rain
The loudest cheers drown out my pain
This moment breaks the chains of fear
I waited years to get right here
And now the tears fall like the rain
The loudest cheers drown out my pain
This moment breaks the chains of fear
I waited years to get right here
My voice is gone but I still smile
The echoes fade across the aisle
This dream is real and I am whole
The tears still cool my happy soul
