Smile
Rediscovering Joy: Magnus Bechmann's Musical Odyssey of Redemption
Lyrics
We made mistakes
We acknowledge past errors
That I regret
Expressing remorse for those mistakes
A long and lonely walk
Reflecting on a lengthy and solitary journey
The weak do not forget
Highlighting that the vulnerable remember
So, I hope you're strong
Wishing strength for the listener
I spend my nights awake
Nights spent pondering
Rethink, for goodness sake
Contemplating for the sake of goodness
Will you?
Prompting the question "Will you?"
I guess I need my friend again
Expressing a need for friendship
The only way I see this happening
Describing the necessity for a positive change
Is if I make you smile
Stating the intent to bring joy
Oh, if you smile
Emphasizing the impact of a smile
Can only make this happen if you smile
Reiterating the condition of smiling
A different walk
Comparing a new experience
In a different park
Describing a different setting
It's nice, but not the same
Acknowledging the pleasantness but not equivalence
Please take me back again
Pleading for a return to the previous state
Will you?
Prompting the question "Will you?" again
I guess I need my friend again
Reiterating the need for friendship
The only way I see this happening
Highlighting the pathway to positive change
Is if I make you smile
Restating the intent to elicit a smile
Oh, if you smile
Reemphasizing the impact of a smile
Can only make this happen if you smile
Reiterating the condition of smiling
Oh, if you smile
Further emphasizing the impact of a smile
Can only make this happen if you smile
Reiterating the condition of smiling
I guess you knew somehow
Recognizing the listener's awareness
All the choices that I made
Acknowledging choices made for both
Essentially was made for you and me
Stating the decisions were mutual
Why can't you tolerate
Questioning the tolerance of embarrassing errors
The embarrassing mistakes
Highlighting the presence of mistakes
Oh, can't you see you're beautiful to me
Expressing admiration despite flaws
(Oh, can't you see you're beautiful to me)
Repeating the acknowledgment of beauty
I guess I need my friend again
Reiterating the need for friendship
The only way I see this happening
Highlighting the pathway to positive change
Is if I make you smile
Restating the intent to elicit a smile
Oh, if you smile
Reemphasizing the impact of a smile
Can only make this happen if you smile
Reiterating the condition of smiling
Oh, if you smile
Further emphasizing the impact of a smile
Can only make this happen if you smile
Reiterating the condition of smiling
Oh, if you smile
Continuing to emphasize the impact of a smile
Can only make this happen if you smile
Final emphasis on the transformative power of a smile
