Hey! Smile More

People are smilin’ all over the earth.

Each smile is unique. And each has great worth.

But the world can be a scary and full of nasty things.

Sometimes people get lonely. And forget to say cheese.

Some places have less sunshine shining on down.

So people do the worst kind of thing. People frown.

But never you fear, my friends. And never you worry.

There’s a trick up your sleeve to save the world in a hurry.

It’s a superpower you have and your friends can have it too.

Just tell them to follow after you and do as you do.

Make your eyes big, teeth clenched and lips really wide

Lift the corners of your mouth to your ears on either side

Your superpower is called smiling. So smile as much as you can.

Your superpower is working. It’s shining from here to Japan.

It’s shining to the moon and back, it’s shining to the stars.

It’s also shining on your friends, those near and those far.

It’s shining on the dark places where the sun can’t always be.

It’s shining on the monsters turning them into funky trees.

It’s shining on the ghosts and goblins shining away all the creepy.

It’s shining on the feisty creatures and making them all sleepy.

Your smile glows in the dark. And it shines on crocodiles.

It shines on your own reflection and creates double the smiles.

It shines on your family, whoever they may be.

It makes them happier and turns you and I into we.

Your smile can help the angry who’re mad about something silly. 

It can make grown-ups laugh or make you warm when it's chilly.

So if you see some people who don't want to play.

Shine your smile in their direction and brighten up their day.

Smile big and smile wide. Smile high and smile low,

Smiling is a superpower so be sure to smile mo'.
