To Find a Smiling Face
There must be a place to find a smiling face,
To share some joy each day just in being.
Never, though I search, through this scary place
Is there just one smile I'm seeing.
Will I ever find a place where I belong,
Where faces smile 'stead of frowning?
Is it really me who's always in the wrong?
Oh why, oh why don't I belong?
Different I may be, but how are they to see
When never do they try to know me?
Can't they ever see, when they look at me,
Someone wanting to belong?
Silly tricks I play, are just to find a way
To show them I'm alive and breathing.
Deep within my heart, I live alone, apart.
Oh why, oh why don't I belong?
There must be somewhere
Someone who'd really care
And see beyond this mask I'm wearing.
Magic that I do, all my powers too
I would gladly give to you.
If you'd only love me,
If you'd only hold me,
Maybe just a smile would do it.
There must be a place to find a smiling face
And know at last that I belong.
