Lyrics

Smiles and Laughter

Can you feel the glow?

Can you see it smile?

Smell the warm air now

Breathe it in in volumes

We're watching you, this time will come

Let's enjoy some voice and sound

Enjoy as light relief

But look what comes tomorrow

What comes tomorrow, do we know?

What comes tomorrow, can you feel the glow?

Feel the sun, the sun unfold (Untold)

We can move a mountain

Some will break and fall

Come on take us to them

We will fight them all

Feel the glow

Feel the glow

Feel the glow

Feel the glow

Can you feel it?

Can you feel it?

Smiles and laughter

Smiles and laughter

Smiles and laughter

Smiles and laughter

Smiles and laughter

Smiles and laughter

Smiles and laughter

Smiles and laughter

Smiles and laughter

Smiles and laughter

Smiles and laughter

Smiles and laughter
