Where are the smiles at the foot of our towers?
This is for dreamers whose nights are prettier than our days
You make me, you make me, you make me smile
You make me, you make me, you make me smile
You make me, you make me, you make me smile
And in a little while, I don't have no more tears to cry
There's all these dreams I carry around
I haven't fixed my problems
I've thrown four hundred punches
I didn't keep the promises
And, when the others move forward
Among the spiders, I'm an ant
But my damn pride still echoes like an echo
I don't know if my heart hurts or my ego does
This is for my aunt and all the thankless work
This is for the women who eased my sighs
The ones who found me in tears and put the smile back on my face
You make me, you make me, you make me smile
You make me, you make me, you make me smile
You make me, you make me, you make me smile
I don't have no more tears to cry
My torments escape some people
And, the more happiness reaches out to me
To our missed chances, to our traffic jams
To our troubled joys, to our twists of fate
And there's all those moments when I tune out
When I think about stepping back
I think about the blame and about my loved ones
When my flaws surface again
It's not only for what he is
But also for what I've been since he came into the world
It's for my big brother in the deen
For all those people who made me grow through the concerts
It's for the sisters who didn't let me suffer
Who saw me when I was alone and gave me back my smile
You make me, you make me, you make me smile
You make me, you make me, you make me smile
You make me, you make me, you make me smile
I don't have no more tears to cry
I don't wanna run away, mom
We keep smiling and we pray
Even in the worst moments
I don't wanna run away, mom
We keep smiling and we pray
Even in the worst moments
I don't wanna run away, mom
We keep smiling and we pray
Even in the worst moments
I don't wanna run away, mom
We keep smiling and we pray
Even in the worst moments
I don't have no more tears to cry
