Make Me Smile
Sam Ock Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You ask me how I'm doing but you know
I feel a little down, but my face don't show
I lie to you, tell you everything's fine
But you look for my heart you read between the lines
And you say so many right things
A smile on your face it kinda makes me wanna sing
You are the sun when my heart is blue
My dear friend I thank you, I thank you, I thank you

You pick me up everyday
When life gets me down you're by my side and stay
Even if it's only for a while
You will always make me smile

Let me hear you say oh yeah (oh yeah)
Let me go and hit my two step
Let me hear you say oh yeah (oh yeah)
Let me go and hit my two step
Even when I'm dead broke, got hope
And I'm still counting my gold
Even with dead bones, I'll thrive
Breathe life into my cold soul

Let me hear you say oh yeah (oh yeah)
Can't help but hit my two step
Let me hear you say oh yeah (oh yeah)
Can't help but hit my two step
Even when I'm dead tired, I rise
Because His yoke is so light
Even when I'm done fight, I'll rest
And forget about the whole plight, let's go

You pick me up everyday
When life gets me down you're by my side and stay
Even if it's only for a while
You will always make me smile

You pick me up everyday
When life gets me down you're by my side and stay

Even if it's only for a while
You will always make me smile

Overall Meaning

The song "Make Me Smile" by Sam Ock speaks to the power of having a true friend who can lift you up when you're feeling down. The opening lines speak to the idea that sometimes we might feel like we need to put on a brave face and pretend that everything is okay, even when it's not. But the friend being addressed in the song sees through this façade and knows that something is off. It's comforting to have someone in your life who understands you so well that they can see through any mask you might be wearing.

The chorus of the song is all about positivity and the power of a good attitude. The friend being addressed is described as a "sun" in the singer's life, bringing warmth and light to otherwise dark days. The repeated refrain of "Let me hear you say oh yeah" is an invitation to celebrate the small triumphs in life and to dance with joy even when things are tough.

The bridge of the song shifts gears a bit, focusing on the singer's faith in God. Even in the darkest times, the singer believes they can rise above it all with the help of a higher power. The lyrics are a testament to the idea that even when we feel like we're at the end of our rope, we can find the strength to keep going.

Overall, "Make Me Smile" is a song about the power of true friendship and the importance of staying positive in the midst of life's challenges.
