I'm gonna keep that smile up on my face
I'm gonna teach myself how to understand
I'll just hold on the best I can
I'm gonna make myself a better man
Maybe I'm not supposed to know
Maybe I'm not supposed to know
And if nobody ever knows the way I feel
I'm gonna keep that smile up on my face
'Cause I'm gonna make this world a better place
Maybe I'm supposed to cry
'Cause I'm gonna make this world a better place

That will be all right, that will be okay
Yeah, I'm gonna make this world a better place
I'm gonna teach myself how to understand
'Cause I'm gonna make this world a better place

I'm gonna keep that smile up on my face
Maybe I'm supposed to cry
I'm gonna make myself a better man

And if I fall down, I'll just get back up
It'll be alright, it'll be okay
Is anybody gonna save me
I'm gonna make myself a better man
I don't really want to know

I'm gonna keep that smile up on my face

I'm gonna teach myself how to understand
Am I gonna make it?
Yeah, I'm gonna make this world, better place
Climbin' up the wall
That will be all right, that will be okay
I'm gonna teach myself how to understand

I'm gonna make myself a better man
I'm gonna make myself a better man
Climbin' out the window
Or are they gonna let me fall?
And if nobody ever knows the way I feel
Someway, somehow
Yeah, I'm gonna make this world, better place
