Lyrics: Johnny Drille – Smile
Have you seen the sun?
Have you seen the moon?
They are shining light for you
And have you seen the stars
Shining in the dark
Cause God is still watching you
Life is beautiful, however you choose
Be grateful for life
Love is beautiful, whenever I’m with you
What a time to be alive
E no matter the condition
Believe in your heart and you go dey alright
No forget say after rainfall
And after the dark, the sun go shine
Keep your heart my friend
Don’t lose yourself
In the morning time, the sun go shine
Do your best but don’t lose yourself
Cause in the morning time, the sun go shine
Have you ever seen the love in a mother’s eyes?
When she holds her little one?
And have you seen the joy in a father’s pride
In a son he truly loves?
Where ever you go
Remember, make you shine the light reach December
Don’t ever lose your souls
Whatever you do, remember stay humble and cool your temper
No forget your own
Cause e no matter the condition
You just believe in your heart and you go dey alright
No forget say after rainfall
And after the dark, the sun go shine
Keep your heart my friend
Don’t lose yourself
In the morning time, the sun go shine
Do your best but don’t lose yourself
Cause in the morning time, the sun go shine
Keep your heart my friend
Don’t lose yourself
In the morning time, the sun go shine
Do your best but don’t lose yourself
Cause in the morning time, the sun go shine
Shine your light, it will show you the road
It will lead you home
Hold on tight and learn to fight
Now that you’re on your own
E go hard sometimes
You go fall sometimes
You won’t understand
Devil go dey try but you go dey alright
You are in safe hands
E no matter the condition
Believe in your heart and you go dey alright
natirovibe.com, No forget say after rainfall

So keep your heart my friend
Don’t lose yourself
In the morning time, the sun go shine
Do your best but don’t lose yourself
Cause in the morning time, the sun go shine
