[Verse 1] Walking alone through the crowded streets No one is looking at me Cold rain runs down my cheek Hiding the traces of my tears [Verse 2] I say “I’m okay,” another lie And wear a mask of a smile But when the night arrives Only the silence calls my name [Pre-Chorus] Even if this world forgets me Will tomorrow still arrive? Even if I never find the answer I’ll try to walk a little farther [Chorus] I’m searching for a reason to smile In this world that’s breaking down Even if nobody loves me The morning sun still rises today [Verse 3] I’m not yet strong enough to say “I want to stay alive” But I want to believe in the day When I can truly smile from my heart [Verse 4] The city lights are far too bright Only my shadow grew more dense Beyond the voices sounding happy I’m still searching for a place to belong [Verse 5] I thought that kindness was a dream The more I hoped, the more I hurt And yet, when I looked up at the sky A little star was waiting there [Pre-Chorus] Even if its light reaches no one It keeps shining, never fading Could I too become someday A little light like that? [Chorus] I’m searching for a reason to smile In this world without an answer Even this heart covered in scars Is still keeping its beat [Verse 6] It doesn’t have to be for someone else I don’t need a splendid dream Because I want to see tomorrow’s sky It’s okay for me to stay here today [Bridge] If this voice can reach you To you lost in the same night I don’t know the answer either I’m still afraid right now too But— If the night is not forever If these tears will someday dry The reason can wait until later For now, I’ll just— [Chorus] I’m searching for a reason to smile In this cold and distant world A tomorrow I have never seen Is waiting for me somewhere [Final Chorus] I don’t have to be strong I don’t have to know the way If I can smile just once today I’ll try to make that my reason [Outro] I walk alone in the morning glow The world has changed nothing at all And still, I tried to smile a little I’m still— Here.
