lyrics

Well I ain’t no idol America,
see I don’t mind my Ps and Qs all that well.
I've got no desire for fame or a fortune,
but I love myself and keep my coins in my till.

Well isn’t that the secret friends?
Haven’t we lost focus on us?
At the end of the road we all die alone,
will you be with someone you trust..?

Maybe you should smile a little bit.
Maybe you should laugh till tears pour out.
Maybe you should smile a little when no one is around.

They say if a tree falls down in the forest
it will never really make a sound
if there’s nobody there that can hear it fall.
Well that got me listening.

See there’s a drum beating in my chest and it’s a gift we pass along. Don’t let it slip through your fingertips, there’s a rhythm in us all.

Maybe you should smile a little bit.
Maybe you should laugh till tears pour out.
Maybe you should smile a little when no one is around.

Maybe you should sing a little bit.
Maybe you should belt your insides out.
Maybe you should sing a little when no one is around.
