Keep on smiling while you hurry down the road
So much to do before days are getting colder
You keep the spirits high and hands upon the wheel
The world smiles back as if it knows what you are feeling
One morning - wake up! - it's in the middle of your life
Find one good reason for yet one more smile
There's always clouds on a blue summer sky
They are just too far away to catch the eye
And the afternoon skies - they are burning like fire
If you stop for a while - you can waste a few hours to find
Comfort in silence - in solitude
Where your mind can wander beyond flesh and blood
What if you're taken before you've finished
Not too surprising - there's noon too soon
Your line of options have soon diminished
So finish up cause we're going home
Going home
Keep on smiling while you hurry down that road
So much to do before days are getting colder
In every newborn child we hear the helpless cries
Some they just keep on crying - until they die
There's always clouds on a blue summer sky
They are just too far away to catch the eye
And the afternoon skies - they are burning like fire
If you stop for a while - you can waste a few hours to find
Comfort in silence - in solitude
Where your mind can wander beyond flesh and blood
What if you're taken before you've finished
Not too surprising - there's noon too soon
Your line of options have soon diminished
So finish up cause we're going home
Going home
