lyrics

It’s been a time when the sorrow seemed to be my middle name
No sun to shine, no tomorrow, troubles all around my life of shame
But in the night, I’ve found a frail trembling flame; I can smile again.

Clouds in my skies, pain, nothing smart, every day, I’ve had to live
Tears in my eyes, despair in my heart, and nothing, nothing to give
But in the storm, I have learned to believe: I can smile again

Daughter is gone, a little life loaned, leaving a void in my soul
My vow was done, just to stay alone, till this body of mine gets cold
Then I’ve found a place where we’ll never, never grow old: I can smile again

I've been in the storm so long; here comes the time to sing a brand new song
And I know that you’ll help me to sing my song

There’s a balm in Gilead to make the wounded whole
There’s a balm in Gilead to heal the sin sick soul
I’m so thankful, I’m so thankful, I’m so thankful, I can smile again
I can live again, I can live again, I can live again, again
I CAN SMILE AGAIN
