Lyrics:

You turn off the news
Been giving you the blues
Pain and sorrow and hateful times
You say 'Who's got the strength to look forward, not me.'
But I know it's sweet
The bells will chime again
Pomp and circumstance, love and mercy to my friends
And I know, I know the sweetest days are going to
Come real soon, I'm going to be the one to show
You all that I've learned
'Smile and show your teeth'

Sing this melody
Honeyed commodity
Treasure the rays that light up your face now
Take a little peak at nature
Look beauty in the eye, all together now
1, 2, 3, 4, 5
But I know it's sweet
The bells will chime again
Pomp and circumstance, love and mercy to my friends
And I know, I know the sweetest days are going to
Come real soon, I'm going to be the one to show
You all that I've learned
'Smile and show your teeth'
