Where do we go nobody knows?
I've gotta say I'm on my way down
God give me style and give me grace
God put a smile upon my face
ALEX:
Owww … aa yeah, ooww, yeah yeah..
Where do we go to draw the line?
I've gotta say
I wasted all your time, honey honey
Where do I go to fall from grace?
God put a smile upon your face
Ah yeah
Now when you work it out I'm worse than you
Yeah when you work it out I wanted to
Now when you work out where to draw the line
Your guess is as good as mine
ALEX:
God put a smile upon your face face, yeah yeahyo
God put a smile upon my face face, yeah yeahyo
Where do we go nobody knows?
Don't ever say you're on your way down when
God gave you style and gave you grace
And put a smile upon your face
Ah yeah
Now when you work it out I'm worse than you
Yeah when you work it out I wanted to
Now when you work out where to draw the line
Your guess is as good as mine
It's as good as mine
It's as good as mine
It's as good as mine
As good as mine
As good as mine
As good as mine
As good as mine
ALEX:
God put a smile upon your face face, yeah yeahyo
God put a smile upon my face face, yeah yeahyo
ALEX:
Spinnin’ ‘round now to take a look at my reflection
Am I goin down or is it just my perception?
Static in the airwaves foggin’ up my mirror
Rub my chin, wonderin’ how to make my vision clearer
We’re losing ourselves to these material possessions
Status and reputation becoming the obsession
Confusion sets in and my thoughts get scattered
Contemplatin’ my purpose, askin’ if even matters?
Then God Put a Smile Upon Your Face and it helped me to retrace
Steps I took to fill my heart with love
And remember that this energy’s a gift from above
That fills you up inside and lets you know it’s alright
Don’t let it get you behind, when don’t feeling aligned
Tough times make you stronger, make your spirit refined
Nobody knows where to go and where to draw the line,
I’d be lyin’, if I didn’t tell you that your guess is as good as mine
ALEX:
God put a smile upon your face face, yeah yeahyo
God put a smile upon my face face, yeah yeahyo
ALEX:
Owww … aa yeah, ooww, yeah yeah..
Where do we go nobody knows?
Don't ever say you're on your way down when
God gave you style and gave you grace
And put a smile upon your face
