My smile hides a hundred stories br Behind one smile is a hidden fear br Behind another, a pain so deep br Behind my smile is a healing scar br My smile hides a hundred stories br It is an expression of my inner resilience br Sometimes bended, a few times tried and tested br My smile tells a hundred stories br It's what keeps my head held up high br My smile is my beauty for ashes br br The day I stop smiling, will be the day of my defeat br My smile is my silent weapon br Sometimes crushed, betrayed and at times in despair br Yet my smile is what keeps me standing br My smile keeps me going br It's my beauty for ashes br The beauty of my inner strength br My smile hides a hundred storiesbr br Nosisa Mdladlambabr br
