You ask me why I keep on smiling
When all the world's in such a mess
And I just have to say
that there is just one way
to find true lasting happiness
You ask me how I keep
my head together
When this whole world is
tumbling down
I think you've heard the talk
The talk about the solid rock
It'll keep your feet
right on the ground
People try so hard to find
A way to gain some peace of mind
And if they try this, then they try that
People scream out to be free
They cry for love and liberty
And the words of God to free them
If they'd only start to hear
People try so hard to find a way
to gain some peace of mind
And they try this, and they try that
People scream out to be free
They cry for love and liberty
And the words of God keep breathing
If they'd only take the time to hear
You ask me how I keep on smiling
When this world looks like it's
coming to an end
Oh, these be final days
When the light comes through the haze
A brand new world will just begin
A brand new world will just begin
A brand new world will just begin
A brand new world will just begin
A brand new world will just begin
