Smile and Pretend

I believe I've changed

And I know cause it's clear

As I walk these streets alone

I say boy you ain't got nothing to fear

Settle down, make it right

We ain't gonna change this overnight

One day you will be

The eyes with which I see

The ears with which I hear

The tongue with which I speak

You will be

The hand with which I strive

Then I'll leave this world behind

Everywhere I see

All these people pushing me

All this pressure to retreat

So I got to hold on to what I believe

Settle down, make it right

We ain't gonna change this overnight

One day you will be

The eyes with which I see

The ears with which I hear

The lungs with which I breathe

You will be

The hand with which I strive

Then I'll leave this world behind

So are you looking out for me my friend

Do you just smile and pretend

There is one thing that I've found

They can't break me down, no no

One day you will be

The eyes with which I see

The ears with which I hear

The lungs with which I breathe

You will be

The hand with which I strive

Then I'll leave this world behind
