Introduction: Song written by Chuck Jackson and Marvin Yancy.
Keep smiling, keep smiling, keep smiling, keep right on smiling
Repetition of the phrase "Keep smiling" as a central theme.
I know sometimes your whole world seems blue
Acknowledges that at times life may seem challenging or depressing.
Seems like the whole weight of the world is resting on you
Expresses the feeling of being burdened by life's challenges.
But remember when you hang your head, it's hard to see the sun
Encourages not to hang one's head as it hinders seeing the positive side.
There's a brighter day, yes it is, just ask and I sure will come
Belief in the promise of a brighter day if one asks for it.
But you've got to keep (keep smiling) well, ooh, yeah
Emphasizes the importance of maintaining a positive outlook.
(keep smiling) keep on, keep on, keep on, keep on
Reinforces the message to persistently keep smiling.

Encourages continuous smiling, highlighting its significance.
Oh, don't you ever stop, no, no, no, oh, when you've got to keep on stepping on
Advises against stopping, even in difficult times.
You know that you've got to be strong and understand the facts of life
Stresses the need to be strong and understand life's realities.
You won't get no place until you make some sacrifice
Emphasizes the requirement of making sacrifices to progress.
Try to make it a little easy when you're doing it on your own
Suggests making things easier when facing challenges alone.
Once you think you've got everything, the next day it's all gone
