Lyrics

Try and always be the one with the brightest smile
Even when you feel like a cloudy day
You might not have been the leader in a while
Never mind friends will come your way.

Try and always be the one with the brightest smile
Even when it seems no-one will play your game
It is the one thing that is never out of style
So wear it and the world will learn your name.

Be a ray of sun, be a drop of rain
Be the kindest one and show your smile again.

Try and always be the one with the brightest smile
Even if you're tired and you're sitting on your own.
The warmth inside you burns as fiercely as a fire
Friends will gather round you'll never be alone.

Be a gentle hand, be a lullaby
Be a marching band and teach yourself to fly
And be a soaring bird through the open blue
Be a loving word, do the best you can do.

So try and always be the one with the brightest smile
Keep one in your pocket for whenever you feel down
And when you feel like tears are falling from your eyes
Just remember I will always be around.
