lift your head 

baby don't be scared 

of the things that could 

go wrong along your way 

you'll get by with a smile 

you can't win at everythin 

but you can try 

baby you don't have to worry 

coz there ain't no need to hurry 

no one every said there'll be 

an easy way 

when they're closin 

all their doors 

and they don't want you anymore 

it sounds funny but i'll say 

it anyway 

girl i'll stay 

through the bad times 

even if i have 

to fetch you everyday 

you'll get by if you smile 

you can never be 

too happy in this life 



refrain: 

in a world where everybody hates 

a happy endin story 

it's a wonder love 

can make the world go round 

but don't let them 

bring you down 

and turn your face into a frown 

you'll get along 

with a little prayer 

and a song 



let me hear you sing it 

repeat refrain 

lift your head 

baby don't be scared 

of the things that 

could go wrong 

along your way 

you'll get by with a smile 

now it's time to kiss away 

those tears goodbye 

let me hear you sing it 

if you smile
