Smile, And The World Smiles With You

The first thing I'd show you

is, we're not as bad as we look

We've had centuries to prove

we deserve to be in the books

While the best of us is just learning to walk

we need to teach them to love, to imagine and talk

And that love can move mountains

galaxies and decisions

Please don't give up on or doubt us

we're working hard on our vision

And, after years, we can finally see

following years of confusion

it's not all about "me"

We've come to the conclusion

equality is the new definition of free

When a human smile is sincere

it's easy to make friends

Opened wide, ear to ear

where the cheek starts to bend

We call those, a dimple

they are both special and rare

Other smiles are nice too

but it's pretty hard to compare

The way they invite you in

to smile right along with them

And to a novice, chagrin

it's best not to tease them, about em'

Yeah, a smile is the first thing

I'd want an alien to see

Making wishes on moon rings

they won't want to eat me
