I'm not gonna write a sad poem
I'm not gonna dwell in the debris
Of my dejection
But I'm gonna subject this burning urge
To cry to purgery and rejection
And find a way to locate within myself
A reason to smile
Dispondacy has no place
In my room of jubilation
For within myself lies in slumber
A surviver of gloom and tribulations
And as I wake him up
I'll find in his strength
A reason to smile
I am him a child of God
And in Him I find comfort
Well not in my eyes tears
I charge you
Weigh off my soul depletion
I command you
For I am the authority of my joy
I am in myself a reason to smile
