Smile
Maya-Rose Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've been waiting
To come home again
So now I can smile
Now I can smile
Walking with dignity in the face of the sun
A brilliant light shining down I have come
Holding the truth in my heart with every beat
And the proof is in every breath that I speak
Do you know what it takes to have no fear?
When you've lost everything you held so dear
If there's a last time let this be the last crime
The scale is off balance and justice is half blind
We don't create wars, we create life
We exist in spite of the strife
Unrelenting, unbroken
Speaking for all that is unspoken
Under pressure but un-silent and undeterred
Unapologetically demanding to be heard
Unwrapping the layers of what is unseen
Uncover the dirt and come clean I'm home
I've been waiting
I've been waiting
To come home again
So now I can smile
So now I can smile
It's unbelievable to think how many people think
That they can get away with such a violent act of hate
I understand in many cases system is complacent
But with these complainants all of that's about to change
It takes strength, courage to speak up and speak out
Truth is on your side
Beyond a shadow of a doubt
Make something out of misery
Now we're making history
Condemn the Uncondemned
Turn a tragedy to victory
I've been waiting
I've been waiting
To come home again
So now I can smile
So now I can smile
I've been waiting
I've been waiting
To come home again
So now I can smile
So now I can smile
