You know a smile never goes out of style
So brighten up the one that you wear
Let it shine and you just might find
You'll lighten up the load that you bear.

You know with all the trouble and sorrow in the world
It seems like the least we can do
Just take that smile into the street
And share it with everybody you meet.

Everyday (Everyday) I want to shake somebody's hand
Everyday (Everyday) I want make somebody know
(That thinks they can) that they can (yes they can)
Everyday (Everyday) I want to try (I want to try)
To show my brothers and sisters that
I want to help them along the way everyday, everyday.

You know a kind word never goes unheard
But too often goes unsaid and on the tongue
Of the old and the young
Gets swallowed up with pride instead.

You know with all the trouble and sorrow in the world
It seems like the least we can do
Just take a kind word into the street
And share it with everybody you meet.

Everyday (Everyday) I want to shake somebody's hand
Everyday (Everyday) I want make somebody know
(That thinks they can) that they can (yes they can)
Everyday (Everyday) I want to try (I want to try)
To show my brothers and sisters that
I want to help them along the way everyday, everyday.

If they're lost I want to show them the sunshine
If they look tossed I want to throw them a lifeline
I want the reach out my hand (reach out) a hand to hold
Oh yeah, and let 'em know (let 'em know)
There's a light (that there's light)
Down at the end of the road.

If they're lost I want to show them the sunshine
If they're tossed I want to throw them a lifeline.

Everyday (Everyday) I want to shake somebody's hand
Everyday (Everyday) I want make somebody know
