Walking down the street and downtown.

Walking down the street and downtown
bitter and miserable yet I smile, and I wonder why.

People walking around in the town and the street
I see return my smile takes me miles.
A song I start to hum now I am happy and chirpy,
Oh but there still lurks a nagging burning.

I am walking around, my head feeling heavy -
So I walk with my head bent down
As if looking for an answer in my heart
But what I see an ember of bitterness and misery
Still lurking round a corner of my heart
Lo! I look up and see people smiling at me
I return their smile - I feel brave and light.

And then suddenly I realise why I like going
down the street and downtown - Watch People
Walking around return my smile - Make my day.
