A smile is a facial expression formed by flexing the muscles near both ends of the mouth. The smile can also be found around the eyes (see 'Duchenne Smiling' below). Among humans, it is an expression denoting pleasure, joy, happiness, or amusement, but can also be an involuntary expression of anxiety, in which case it is known as a grimace. Smiling is something that is understood by everyone despite culture, race, or religion; it is internationally known. Cross-cultural studies have shown that smiling is a means of communicating emotions throughout the world. But there are large differences between different cultures. A smile can also be spontaneous or artificial.
Many biologists think the smile originated as a sign of fear. Primalogist Signe Preuschoft traces the smile back over 30 million years of evolution to a "fear grin" stemming from monkeys and apes who often used barely clenched teeth to portray to predators that they were harmless. Biologists believe the smile has evolved differently among species and especially among humans.
Ohh ohh ohh
Had a dream last night you cared
And asked me how I am
Well I am
Sometimes the road that victory takes
Leads to no good end and we bend
And it's pure as the sun as sure as the sky
You miss out me singing it's time to fly
Change has begun
So cease your regrets
I make good mistakes and I'm not over yet
I won't give up on me like you did
I choose to let myself see the good
In not breathing for you
But you wish you could be
Smiling
Smiling
And I wake up but don't look in the mirror
Walk downtown as if one day it might come clearer
Think I'll see you but you couldn't be farther
Picture a little girl that
Could have been my daughter
Hope you live up to be what you will
I choose to keep myself free
And the truth is I always think of you
But will you think of me
Smiling
Smiling
Now I stand quiet and still smiling
You know I swallow that pill smiling
I guess I can get my fill of smiling
Going alone I will be smiling
Breathing is really cool, I love my life
Every reason in the world to be smiling
Breathing is really cool, and I love my life
Every reason in the world to be smiling
Breathing is really cool, and I love my life
Every reason in the world to be smiling
Ohh ohh ohh
