After everyone has taken a bow
and it didn't feel as good
as you thought that it would,
after every tear has been cried
and every lie has been lied,
then I turn to the world outside...
...and I hear every sound.
Walk away
from another crowd.
Loneliest of people laughin'
just a little too loud
and the saddest of eyes
tryin' so hard to see.
Then I turn to the world outside
that's spinnin' so patiently around
and I hear every sound.
I wanted to know the answer,
but I never thought to ask.
Then one day, I started laughin'
and it all came echoin' back.
The secret of a smile
is known by just a few:
if you give everything you got,
then it all, it all,
it all comes back to you.
